A Montreal man is facing the stiffest sentence related to animal cruelty the province has ever issued.
According to CBC News, Geoffrey Laberge was sentenced to 6 months in prison after he beat and stabbed his two dogs in August 2011.
Veterinarian Lissa Altschuler said one of the dogs, a 3-year old pug was stabbed in the head. Both were taken to a veterinary clinic in NDG and both survived the attacks.
The SPCA said a sentence of this magnitude sends a message to the public that animal cruelty is being taken seriously.
