Can you even deny those puppy eyes?  It baffles me how some people can be so selfish and so bloodsucking desire money they'll do whatever it takes to increase their financial status.  I hope those puppies and kitties will have a better life after this horrible ordeal.

Humane society brass face cruelty charges

The Ontario SPCA has raided the Toronto Humane Society and laid charges against five staff members, including its president, the Toronto Star reports.

The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says staff members are to be charged with cruelty to animals and obstruction of a police officer. The Star reports that Police and the OSPCA remain inside the offices of the 11 River St. location in Toronto.

The Star reports that president Tim Trow is charged with animal cruelty, conspiracy to commit cruelty to animals and obstruction of a police officer. Head veterinarian Steve Sheridan, shelter manager Gary McCracken, veterinarian Romeo Bernadino and shelter supervisor Andy Bechtel were also arrested on animal cruelty charges, the Star reports.

CBC reports that allegations, after a six-month investigation, are that four cats were found to be in distress.

The charges stem from an investigation that was launched in early 2009 in response to allegations of animal cruelty. The search warrant was also executed at a private residence.

The OSPCA says they found four cats in the June 2nd inspection that were in distress and suffering from dehydration.

CP24 reported that there's extensive evidence that the animals were not being fed and watered at appropriate times.
