The Court recognized the importance of denouncing animal cruelty as a serious offense, whereas this crime has historically been considered one of lesser seriousness by Quebec courts. <strong>For almost a decade now, we have been seeing significant prison sentences imposed for serious cases of animal cruelty elsewhere across the country.

The charges relate to approximately 1,000 sled dogs that suffered abuse at the hands of Simard, or under his orders, over a period of more than 10 years. According to the many former employees of the business who testified during the trial, the dogs were given no veterinary care when they were sick or injured, and were killed in particularly brutal ways, including by being hanged, asphyxiated in an improvised gas chamber or placed alive in a freezer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b10ee6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7b10ee6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22f80f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22f80f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>A poorly regulated industry<\/strong><\/p><p>Beyond the acts of animal cruelty at issue, the trial also highlighted the egregious lack of animal welfare oversight in Quebec&#8217;s sled dog industry.
