The maximum penalty in Canada for animal abuse if one is charged and convicted is 5 years. Captain was a 2 year old German Shepherd who was found beaten and bleeding in a dumpster in Vancouver. He died of his injuries. The police have arrested his owner but he has not been charged criminally yet for Captain's murder. Petition the BC and Canadian government to press criminal charges against Brian Whitlock of Vancouver. Captain was beaten with a chain and suffered brain hemorrhages and other fatal injuries. He was a total love bug by all accounts. Nothing this too gentle to be a K9 did ever warranted his brutal torture and killing. German Shepherds were created and bred to protect. Captain deserved the best. Now that he is gone give him the dignity he was denied in life!
This happened in British Columbia and its the province with the toughest animal cruelty laws in Canada. The laws were amended last year after the Whistler slaughter of 100 huskies.... increasing fines for animal cruelty convictions to a maximum of $75,000 and allowing jail terms of up to two years.

He murdered an innocent, vulnerable member of society. Captain deserves justice!!
No normal person could do this to any animal therefore with that being said please punish him to the maximum. I believe in an eye for an eye and I would sure like to do to him what he did to that more dog
Lock that bastard up!!! Give Captain the justice that he rightfully deserves!!!!
If he can do this to an animal, what can he do to people? He needs to be punished severely for his actions. What a horrible person. They need tougher laws. With what he did to Captain, something is wrong with that person. What kind of people cruelty has he done?
Much tougher laws are needed for animal abusers. Animals are innocent and never deserve such a criminal act to be taken against them. Captain was a beautiful creature who would normally protect against harm, yet his owner harmed him tremendously. Severe punishment is needed here going along with heavy fines.
Put him in prison
This is abhorrent. Please prosecute to the fullest extent.

Whatever people will do to animals they will do to other people if they think they can get away with it. Animals deserve the protection of the law, but for those who care little for animals' pain and suffering, they should consider that they just might be the next victim of an animal abuser.
