Toronto Humane Society officials arrested for cruelty to animals
Toronto — Globe and Mail UpdatePublished on Thursday, Nov. 26, 2009 3:19PM ESTLast updated on Thursday, Nov. 26, 2009 6:53PM EST
Police have arrested the Toronto Humane Society's president, chief veterinarian and three other senior staff members and charged them with animal cruelty, six months after a Globe and Mail investigation revealed widespread troubles at the shelter.
At the same time, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals executed a search warrant at the shelter's River Street facility late Thursday afternoon.
Humane Society president Tim Trow is facing Criminal Code charges of animal cruelty, conspiracy to commit cruelty to animals and obstruction of a peace officer. If convicted, Mr. Trow faces a maximum penalty of $2,000 and six months in jail for the animal cruelty charges, and two years in jail for the obstruction charges.
Head veterinarian Steve Sheridan, shelter manager Gary McCracken, manager Romeo Bernadino and shelter supervisor Andy Bechtel have also been arrested and face animal cruelty charges under the criminal code.
All of the above, as well as the Society's board of directors, are also being charged with five counts of animal cruelty, a provincial offence under the Ontario SPCA Act (as opposed to criminal charges).

Adoptive/Foster homes needed:
2 Male Dumbo Rats: Brothers from same litter; Dumbo & Bambi. About 5 months old. Have been sneezing, owner unable to give them medication for it because she is too allergic. Therefore she is also unable to keep them because of her allergies, and with the windows now closed it has become unbearable. Need to be fostered / adopted together as they are bonded.
*Cannot be fostered with other rats, rabbits, or small animasl in the house (Not including cats/dogs).
Mother cat: This sweetheart was abandoned, and left to fend for herself on the streets. She obviously had a home at some point in her life because she is clearly trying to make up for all the months of being attention starved. Of course; she had a litter and like always.. all the kittens got placed and now she is left behind. Unlike her kittens that were place, she has not had the chance as a kitten to find a good home, and now as an adult no one is interested in her. She is about 1 years old.
Two kittens born outside: We have been emailed last week to taken in two outdoor kittens that were born under someone balcony. Winter is coming and outdoors is no place to be for a little defenseless kitten (burr!). Sex unknown, color sliver with white belly's, ages 8 weeks.
Three kittens rescued from outside: 7 Kittens rescued in September, all placed but three, now 3-4 months old.
Dog: No information given other than its name being Matis. More information to come soon (hopefully).
Feral cats rescued, now multiplying: One year a mother cat roamed into the woman's garage, she fed her, she had a litter of three kittens, 2 were able to be place. Went to bring her to be spayed, mother was pregnant again, had her second litter; 3 more kittens. Now has 4 cats and three kittens in her garage ( 2 cats = 2 years old, 1 cat = 1.5 year old 1 cat = 1 year old). They are all black.

The winnings included Bark Busters donating 500$to the rescue group of her choice. After meeting us amoungst other rescues at CAACQ ‘Pawfect Match’ adoption event in September, Roe loved the rescue and our passionate work.

Thank you to Sebastien for winning the competition, Roe Gabriel from choosing us and Bark Busters for giving back to the community and their homeless animals.
