Frank McKay of Edmonton; the owner of two horses who were rescued from the snow off a B.C. mountainside was charged with animal cruelty, three times! Mr. McKay was accused of leaving the horses right before Christmas near a town called McBride, B.C. Two snowmobilers found the horses that were trapped in seven-foot high snow.
They brought food and blankets for the starving and cold horses (names: Belle and Sundance). Meanwhile the volunteers started to dig a one-kilometer path for the horses to be rescued; it took a week to open and were finally rescued on Dec. 23.
The SPCA’s chief animal protection officer, Shawn Eccles said “the animals suffered from malnutrition and various health issues after being exposed to freezing temperatures.” For happy endings sake Belle and Sundance were placed in permanent homes in Prince George and Kamloops, B.C.
I think this I an important topic to be aware of because this way you know the horrible things that people do to animals, and how it can take one man to hurt a animal but a whole community to save it.
