Ontario Justice of the Peace Angela Renaud has ordered a lifetime dog ownership ban for a 20-year-old Windsor, Ont. woman. Armstrong is accused of failing to treat her pets in a humane manner and provide basic necessities after two dogs starved to death.
Amanda Armstrong received a $1,000 fine and was ordered the lifetime ban having pleaded guilty to two counts of animal cruelty. Armstrong, who is being prosecuted under the provincial Dog Owners’ Liability Act, is the first to receive a sentence of this kind.
The Windsor Essex County Humane Society issued a summons to Armstrong’s home earlier this year after discovering seven dogs living in deplorable conditions.
