The same day that videos emerged of Ottawa and Quebec police gearing up to go after peaceful Convoy supporters in the capital, the Ottawa government has warned protesters that their pets may be confiscated following their arrest.
Moreover, position statements issued by the Ottawa Humane Society reveal that they may unilaterally euthanize any animal that they deem to be “not suitable for adoption.” Arbitrary behavioral and health tests would be used to make the call.
These decisions about the life of a trucker’s pet would, thus, be made without their consent or knowledge while they are imprisoned for indefinite periods of time via the Emergency Powers of the Trudeau regime.
"Attention animal owners at the demonstration,"
Ottawa By-law writes in a Tweet. "If you are unable
to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions,
your animal will be placed into protective care for 8 days,
at your cost. After 8 days, if arrangements are not made,
your animal will be considered relinquished."
As anyone with experience in pet care or animal shelters will
know, "relinquishment" means that ownership of pets will be
handed over to animal shelters, where the pets will be housed
while awaiting a prospective owner to adopt them or to be
euthanized.
As Adopt-a-Pet explains, "When shelters run out of kennel
space, sometimes even healthy adoptable dogs are put to
sleep. Some shelters simply don't have the manpower to spend
time with each dog, so they spend most of their time alone in
a small cage… What is true at every shelter is that when you
surrender a dog, what happens to him is completely out of
your hands."
It isn't clear what length of time Convoy supporters may face
if arrested for peacefully protesting, but the government has
been clear that it could be up to one year in prison, in addition
to a possible $100,000 fine.
This move, while despicable, should come as no surprise, as
authoritarian regimes often resort to such measures when
under stress.
Last year, the Australian government euthanized 15 rescue
dogs, including ten puppies, at an animal shelter to 'stop the
spread' of COVID amongst the devastated staff.
As it stands, all Canadians continue to be held hostage
following Trudeau's invoking of the Emergencies Act, with
Canadians' who happened to support the Convoy financially
being threatened with the possible freezing of their bank
account. Dogs are just the latest target for a government
in shambles.
