Target: Kieran McKenzie, Crown Attorney, Windsor, Ontario, CanadaGoal: Ensure that every individual accused of assaulting a dog owner with pepper spray and stealing his companion animal is prosecuted to the fullest extent of Canadian law. It targeted the bond between a person and a beloved companion animal. Officers executed a raid at a nearby address, where the stolen dog was safely recovered and reunited with its owner. Violently separating a person from a companion animal through force and intimidation represents a troubling escalation of both violent crime and animal victimization. Investigators allege a dog owner was pepper-sprayed, injured, and had his companion animal stolen during the assault.
