Gail Benoit gets jail time

This is wonderful - Gail Benoit is actually going to jail - and she's got a ban on owning animals until her next court date for cruelty to animals. Finally - her words - "I'm going to always sell puppies" - are maybe not going to come to fruition here in Nova Scotia for her and for other people who treat sentient beings the way she and her husband have -

Gail Benoit gets jail time

April 9, 2009

A woman convicted of animal cruelty and assault will spend 21 days in jail. The sentencing of Gail Benoit happened in Digby Court this morning, and Benoit passed out when she heard the ruling. Benoit and her husband Dana Bailey, who was also convicted on animal cruelty charges, have been fined and are prohibited from owning animals for the next 8 months, pending their trial on more animal cruelty charges.
The two who were selling puppies were charged after several of the dogs they sold died from Parvo Virus. Bailey became very loud upon hearing the ruling, and had to be escorted out of the courthouse by the RCMP. Benoit was sentenced to jail time because it's her third assault conviction.

Commenting Policy

I let almost all comments go through, unless you are attacking me or the subject of my post, in which the comment will be deleted.

I also don't let comments go through that I don't feel like approving, so in other words, whether or not the comment will be approved is highly subjective.

I've also heard that there is some technical glitch with my commenting function on the blog - and it's really hard to post a comment - which suits me fine, so you might want to save your work before you press send - or you may get a bit angry at yourself for typing all that garbage out - and it was a completely waste of your time.

Gail Benoit Information

My blog posts about Gail Benoit have proven to be very popular - people seem to be googling her, and finding my blog - so I want to put some information on the sidebar so that people trying to find information about her can read this information quickly and get the news they need. They are Nova Scotia's most infamous sellers of dogs alongside the road and out of the backs of cars - and the dogs they sell are notorious for being sick, diseased, and dying. It is very sad that people only find out about them AFTER they've spent hundred's of dollars and the animal they've bought has suffered and usually died. The only way Ms. Benoit and Mr. Bailey are going to stop their trade of torture is if people stop buying their product. In the later part of 2008 they have been the news again - I've built a page with information about them at http://gailbenoit.ca/ or http://danabailey.ca/
