Sometime during the evening hours of Aug. 1, a white and brown border collie was shot on McFarlane Road. The dog later died as a result of its injuries. 

According to the New Brunswick SPCA, who are investigating the videos, the person in the videos is a minor. 

Saint John Police Force spokesman Jim Hennessy said city police are not investigating at this time.

The allegations surfaced in January when a complaint on social media claimed a “number” of guinea pigs died at the hands of a zookeeper in Saint John.

In 2018, the New Brunswick SPCA obtained and executed 14 entry warrants, which allow SPCA officers to access a private dwelling for the purpose of rescuing an animal.

Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums said that their investigation has found that there is no evidence to support accusations that the method of euthanasia was inhumane. 

Protesters armed with bright signs are attempting to draw attention to an alleged incident of what they believe is a case of animal abuse.

The New Brunswick SPCA said in a statement on Wednesday that they opened an investigation into the incident in January 2019.

The SPCA says that three Great Danes and two cats were found dead.

“In December, weather’s getting cold. We’re still full with animals,” says the executive director of the Greater Moncton SPCA. “It was much-needed revenue.”
