Vernon News 'A campaign of malice': BC dog rescue claims defamation, judge disagreesSTOCK IMAGE Image Credit: PIXABAYA BC woman who runs a dog rescue organization has lost in court after she sued a dog trainer for defamation because of comments made on social media. According to a Sept. 17 BC Supreme Court decision, Lisa Gaye Eeckhout who runs Furever Freed Dog Rescue Society took legal action against dog trainer Donna Toews because of comments she'd made on Facebook. Eeckhout runs Furever Freed Dog Rescue Society, an organization that rescues stray and at-risk dogs from other countries and bringing them to Canada for adoption. In her court filing, Eeckhout said Toews accused her of importing dogs from Mexico and selling them and being a "dog broker." The statements relate to the dog rescue community, which invites public attention and debate,” the Justice said.
