Advocates are calling on the province for more transparency and oversight as the investigation continues into an eastern Ontario cat rescue accused of abuse, neglect and falsifying medical records.
Sandi Lawson, co-founder of Speak Up For Paws, and her cats up for adoption on Oct. 29, 2024. .Sign up now for daily CTV News Ottawa newslettersSandi Lawson and Jackie Gauthier are the co-founders of Speak Up For Paws, a non-profit organization focusing on advocacy and education for animals in Ottawa and surrounding areas.
"Some people just start a rescue with no vet, no knowledge, to me they’re just becoming part of the problem." Gauthier says it was her along with another rescue who went into the founder of EOC’s home, removing six cats after allegations the property was vacated, and cats were left inside. At least one has since died.
"Since the cat was in my possession and EOC was not providing vet care, it now meant that I was liable and I don’t want it to look like I’m neglecting the cats," Gondermann said. According to the province, animal welfare inspectors use a range of compliance and enforcement tools including communication and education, along with the issuance of orders and the removal of animals.
"Animal Welfare will not give you the follow through," said Gauthier."They will pretty much take your complaint and then that'll be the end of it."
