The SPCA will be recommending animal cruelty charges in the deaths of six Ladner dogs earlier this month.
The B.C. SPCA announced Monday that it will recommend the charges against the dog walker after the six canines allegedly died while in her care.
While the SPCA is still completing its report, Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer, said that enough evidence has been obtained in the investigation so far to warrant a recommendation of separate animal cruelty charges for each dog.
The SPCA report will be submitted to Crown counsel within the next few weeks.
“Obviously the ultimate decision about whether or not charges will be laid rests with Crown counsel, but the preliminary necropsy results and other evidence gathered in our investigation so far supports our recommendation,” Moriarty said.
Initially reported stolen from her truck while parked at a Langley dog park on May 13, the dog walker later admitted the canines died after being left in the vehicle on a hot day.
