Case of 14 dead horses prompts review of N.B. horse licensing requirements

Broader review of SPCA Act also on government's 'radar,' minister responsible for animal protection says

New Brunswick will look into making the licensing of horses a requirement, in the wake of 14 dead horses being found at a farm in the greater Stanley area over the holiday weekend, says the minister responsible for animal protection.

A broader review of the New Brunswick Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act is also on the government's radar, said Daniel Allain, minister of Local Government and Local Governance Reform.

He made the comments in the legislature Wednesday during the standing committee on estimates, amid questions by Liberal critic Jacques LeBlanc, the MLA for Shediac-Beaubassin-Cap-Pelé.

LeBlanc described the case as heartbreaking.

It's the largest number of dead horses in the province's history, according to the New Brunswick SPCA's chief animal protection officer.

An additional five adult horses in poor health were also discovered roaming loose on the property, and are in foster care.

"It seems that livestock for agricultural purpose is tracked, but not livestock used for recreational purposes," said LeBlanc.

He asked if the province would consider making horse licensing mandatory.

If it can help and protect animals in New Brunswick, we are definitely open and ready and willing to engage.
- Daniel Allain, minister responsible for animal protection

Allain called the suggestion great and said he will consult with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture and the NBSPCA.

"If it can help and protect animals in New Brunswick, we are definitely open and ready and willing to engage," he said.

Animal protection 'very hot right now'

LeBlanc noted the act has not undergone a "significant review for some time," and asked whether the minister would commit to one.

Allain said he "100 per cent" agrees a review is needed, given the last one was around 2010.

"At this juncture, we're still not there yet," he said, citing resources stretched by reforms.

A review is, however, one of his department's priorities, he assured.

The animal protection file is "very hot right now," said Allain.

$400K increase to SPCA as cruelty cases rise

New Brunswick has seen a steady increase in the number of animal cruelty investigations in the past few years, he said, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result, the government has increased the SPCA's funding to $500,000, from $100,000, he said.

That's on top of about $343,000 the government provided in November.

The extra money is needed to ensure the SPCA's "long-term stability and effectiveness as the enforcement agency," said Allain.

"We just want to make sure that we're there to help the different organizations who advocate on behalf of animals and try to prevent animal cruelty in our province."

More protection officers, MOU expected

Allain anticipates some of the money will be used to increase the number of animal protection officers to help with enforcement, which he described as a "key component of animal protection."

The SPCA currently has 16 animals protection officers, he said.

The additional positions are part of ongoing negotiations with the SPCA, said Allain, with a memorandum of understanding to ensure accountability expected to be signed by next week and announced in Woodstock.

SPCA executive director Lesley Rogers did not respond Thursday to a request for an interview.

But earlier this week she told CBC the SPCA responded to more than 2,000 complaints last year, and took into care and rehomed more than 500 animals.

"So we act when we need to, and we have to work through the court process as you can appreciate," she said.

Allain said he gets regular updates from the SPCA, usually about 10 emails a month, closer to 20 in recent weeks.

"It's not easy sometimes to divulge all the information on a certain file," due to privacy reasons, he said. "But I can attest to you … the NBSPCA is definitely doing their job."

Safety of animals is priority

LeBlanc asked specifically what actions animal protection officers can take if standards of care for animals, such as shelter requirements and teetering are not being followed.

Allain said they have several tools. Among them, they can issue orders, seize animals, and lay charges through the Department of Justice and Public Safety.

They have discretion, depending on the severity of the situation, he said, but usually start by having a conversation with the owner to ensure compliance.

"The priority is the safety of the animal."

Investigation into record high number of dead horses underway, says New Brunswick SPCA

14 dead horses found on farm in greater Stanley area, along with 5 horses in poor health

CBC News ·
Tony Porter, the chief animal protection officer for the New Brunswick SPCA, said the number of dead horses is 'a major concern.' (Submitted)

The New Brunswick SPCA is investigating the largest number of dead horses in the province's history, according to the chief animal protection officer.

Fourteen dead horses were discovered at a farm in the greater Stanley area over the holiday weekend, the SPCA announced on social media last Friday.

"It's one thing to have one deceased animal, but when you have several, it's a major concern for us, because we haven't come across this situation — fortunately, we haven't come across it — in the past in this province that we found so many dead ones all in one spot," Tony Porter told CBC in an interview Monday.

An additional five adult horses in poor health were also discovered loose on the property. They are in foster care and receiving medical care after being assessed by a veterinarian.

Porter declined to disclose many details, including the address of the property in question, citing privacy and the ongoing investigation, but did say this was the first time the SPCA received a report concerning animal welfare at that location.

"I do realize it's frustrating to the public … but unfortunately it's the same as any police investigation. There's only so much you can release."

No cause of death yet

He described the investigation as "very complex" and expects it will take "a few weeks" to complete.

"We have to make sure we get all the details right, so we don't rush anything."

It's too soon to say if charges are anticipated, said Porter, noting the causes of death have not yet been confirmed.

There are "a lot of details here that we have to get to the bottom of in order to pursue this in an effective manner," he said

"We're doing everything we can to ensure this investigation, at the end of it, is completed and done in an effective way so this will not happen again."

Dog and 'a few' cats healthy

Other pets found at the location include at least one dog and "a few" cats, said Porter. They're all healthy and being cared for daily, he said. 

Asked whether the SPCA or the owner arranged that care, Porter said it was already in place before officers arrived.

Those animals are not the subject of the investigation, said executive director Lesley Rogers.

Owners urged to seek help with care

She encourages anyone who is unable to care for their animals to reach out to their veterinarian, family members or others for help. There are many options, she said.

For domestic animals, they can contact their local shelter, said Rogers. "Often they have program to help support pet owners, such as kibble banks, can facilitate private adoptions or will accept surrendered pets to be re-homed."

They can also contact specific breed or species associations to ask for support or assistance, said Rogers. "Many associations or pet owner groups are able to help in times of difficulty or emergencies."

In addition, the NBSPCA can help them reach organizations appropriate to their specific situation, Rogers said.

Woman faces 3 charges in case of 14 dead horses in Stanley area, says NBSPCA

Animal welfare case involves largest number of dead horses in the province's history, protection officer says

A woman from the greater Stanley area is facing three criminal charges in connection with the discovery of 14 dead horses at a farm in April, says the New Brunswick SPCA.

It was the largest number of dead horses in the province's history, the SPCA's chief animal protection officer, Tony Porter, told CBC at the time.

An additional five adult horses in poor health were also discovered loose on the property and required medical care.

The woman is scheduled to appear in Fredericton provincial court "early next month," according to a news release issued by the organization Thursday.

The three charges she faces all relate to animal welfare, said Porter. They include injuring or endangering animals, cruelty to animals by causing unnecessary suffering, and causing damage or injury, he said.

Possible penalties range from a fine to prison

Under the Criminal Code, anyone who, "wilfully and without lawful excuse, kills, maims, wounds, poisons or injures dogs, birds or animals that are kept for a lawful purpose" commits an offence.

Anyone who "wilfully causes or, being the owner, wilfully permits to be caused unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal or a bird" also commits an offence.

And any owner or person who has custody or control of a domestic animal or a bird or an animal or a bird wild by nature that is in captivity, and "abandons it in distress or wilfully neglects or fails to provide suitable and adequate food, water, shelter and care for it" commits an offence.

Possible penalties for each charge range from a fine of $10,000 to up to five years in prison, depending whether the prosecution proceeds by way of more serious indictable offences, or less serious summary ones, according to the code.

Porter declined further comment.

He previously described the investigation as very complex and expected it to take a few weeks.

This was the first time the SPCA received a report concerning animal welfare at the undisclosed location, he had said.

The causes of the horse deaths have not been released.

The five ailing horses were put into foster care at the time.

Other pets found on the property included at least one dog and a few cats, all healthy and being cared for daily, Porter had said.

>>> Members of the public frequently confuse the NBSPCA with the local
>>> SPCA shelters.The NBSPCA is the umbrella organization for the SPCA
>>> movement in the province.  It encourages (and must consent to) the
>>> creation of local SPCA branch societies, in which there are currently
>>> 11.  All of these municipal and regional SPCA branches maintain animal
>>> shelters where animals in need can be taken and held for adoption. The
>>> NBSPCA itself does not operate animal shelters or provide adoption
>>> services. Branch societies are represented on the board of directors
>>> of the NBSPCA and co-operate with the NBSPCA but otherwise, they
>>> operate largely independently of the provincial body. (For a list of
>>> New Brunswick SPCA branches and shelters, see Shelters.) However, the
>>> primary role of the NBSPCA is to provide Animal Protection services
>>> for the entire province of New Brunswick which includes all domestic
>>> animals as well as agricultural animals (including livestock), as
>>> mandated by the NBSPCA Act. The NBSPCA is also largely responsible for
>>> providing humane education to the public and as well as animal
>>> advocacy.
>>>
>>> In addition, the NBSPCA holds a contract to provide Dog Control
>>> services in rural NB communities and conducts Pet Establishment
>>> License inspections on behalf of the Province of New Brunswick, as
>>> well as independent contracts for dog control services for additional
>>> small villages and towns.
>>>
>>> The NBSPCA main office is located in Fredericton, NB with 2 full-time
>>> employees to manage all operational functions (an Executive Director
>>> and an Office Manager) and 2 full-time employees to oversee
>>> enforcement (a Chief Animal Protection Officer and a Deputy Chief
>>> Animal Protection Officer). In addition, there are currently 9
>>> full-time Animal Protection Officers employed throughout the province
>>> as well as multiple part-time/contract Animal Protection and/or Animal
>>> Control Officers, all of whom work remotely.
>>>
>>> The organization is overseen by a province-wide Board of Directors
>>> which consists of a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary,
>>> Members-At-Large that are elected at the Annual General Meeting, and
>>> representatives from each of the 11 shelters.

>>> The New Brunswick Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is
>>> a registered, non-profit charitable organization active in the
>>> province for over 120 years.
>>> We provide province-wide leadership in the humane treatment of

>>> legislation against cruelty and abuse. Our Animal Protection Officers
>>> respond to calls made by the public to our province-wide hot-line,
>>> 1-877-722-1522 (over 3,000 complaints per year). We investigate
>>> allegations of neglect and abuse, advise and assist owners in
>>> providing better care for their companion animals and livestock, and
>>> in extreme cases seize abused animals and lay legal charges.
>>> The NBSPCA promotes public education on humane issues, and we advocate
>>> for the welfare of all animals. We are also responsible for dog
>>> control in the rural and unincorporated areas of the province (meaning
>>> we respond to complaints about stray and nuisance dogs), and we
>>> inspect and license dog kennels and other pet establishments under the
>>> provincial SPCA Act.
>>> The NBSPCA doesn't maintain animal shelters, but we cooperate closely
>>> with municipal and regional SPCAs across the province that do. Each
>>> year, the animal shelters operated by local SPCAs and other humane
>>> groups provide care and temporary homes for more than 6,000 animals.
>>> We believe that all New Brunswick animals deserve to be treated with

>>> An international expert on democracy has flown all the way from Egypt
>>> to help NDP candidate John Carty campaign in Fredericton.
>>>
>>> Dominic Cardy is with a group called The National Democratic
>>> Institute. Its members include such people as former U.S. President
>>> Jimmy Carter. The group's mission is to teach democratic values and
>>> spread democracy around the world.
>>>
>>> Cardy has taught about democracy in Algeria, Bangladesh, and Cambodia
>>> during the past few years. When he heard his friend John Carty was
>>> running for office back in his home town of Fredericton, he hopped on
>>> a plane.
>>>
>>> "It was a strange experience," Cardy said. "One evening I was watching
>>> the sun go down over the pyramids, and the next evening watched it go
>>> down over Fredericton airport as I came into land."
>>> Cardy is no relation to the NDP candidate. But he loves elections and
>>> loves getting people pumped up about democracy.
>>>
>>> Carty the candidate is running against federal Indian Affairs Minister
>>> Andy Scott, Conservative Pat Lynch, Green candidate Philip Duchastel
>>> and independent David Amos. The riding has sent Scott to Ottawa for
>>> the last four elections, despite the best efforts of the other
>>> parties.
>>>
>>> Cardy says he doesn't care how tough the race his – he just wants
>>> people to participate in the process. "People have forgotten how
>>> incredibly precious these gifts that our ancestors fought for are and
>>> were just giving them away. It makes me furious when I talk to people
>>> and people just say 'ah there's no point in voting.'"
>>>
>>> After election day, Dominic Cardy is flying back home to his wife in
>>> Kathmandu, Nepal. He hopes to leave behind a new Member of Parliament
>>> for Fredericton, his friend John Carty for the NDP.

>>> History of the NBSPCA
>>> The New Brunswick SPCA was incorporated by an act of the provincial
>>> legislature in 1881, after fifteen citizens of the city of Saint John
>>> had petitioned the legislative council for the creation of such a
>>> body.
>>>
>>> One of the first public acts of the new Society was to commission a
>>> drinking fountain for horses in 1882 that still exists in uptown Saint
>>> John, New Brunswick. As that action suggests, the chief humanitarian
>>> concern of most early SPCAs was with horses and their abuse. The
>>> modern SPCA focus on companion animals followed the decline of the
>>> horse for work and transportation in the twentieth century. The
>>> movement to found animal shelters (which mostly serve companion
>>> animals) also followed this shift of emphasis. Livestock and their
>>> protection, however, has been a continuing concern of most SPCAs.
>>>
>>> In 1911 the NBSPCA Act was amended to change the name of the Society
>>> to the “New Brunswick Society for the Prevention of Cruelty” and to
>>> expand its mandate to the protection of women and children. This step
>>> conformed to the practice of many other societies in England and North
>>> America.
>>>
>>> The Victorian “protection” movement had begun with the anti-slavery
>>> campaigns, and its broad humanitarian focus embraced oppressed
>>> peoples, women, children, animals, and the poor. Not until 1958 was
>>> the name and mission of the Society in New Brunswick changed to again
>>> place an exclusive focus on animals. By that time, interventions to
>>> protect women and children had become increasingly a mandate of
>>> government or specialized private societies.
>>>
>>> Very little has been written or is known about the NBSPCA’s first 80
>>> years. The rare surviving papers hint at predictable themes: debates
>>> over amendments to the act or the Society bylaws; successful
>>> prosecutions for animal abuse; minor disputes about governance; and
>>> occasional financial crises, sometimes triggered by seizures of
>>> livestock and the resulting expenses of boarding and legal defences.
>>>
>>> The Society seems to have had no employees other than its network of
>>> part-time inspectors, and no fixed office. Funding came from donations
>>> and membership fees, contributions by a few well-to-do supporters, and
>>> charitable trusts. In addition, the Society seems to have had modest
>>> and irregular funding from the provincial government and the Canadian
>>> Federation of Humane Societies, at times during the 1960s and ’70s.
>>> Branch societies in the larger cities, mostly created after WWII, were
>>> usually better-financed than the provincial body, and in some cases
>>> assumed responsibility of paying for humane enforcement within their
>>> municipal boundaries.
>>>
>>> In 1961 Senator Frederic A. McGrand of Saint John, then President of
>>> the NBSPCA, appointed Brian Davies from Oromocto as a part-time
>>> Inspector. In 1965 Davies became the Society’s Executive Secretary,
>>> its first full-time employee. With the backing of the NBSPCA, Davies
>>> threw himself into campaigns against the leg-hold trap and for more
>>> humane methods in Canadian slaughterhouses. From there he moved into
>>> the campaign, already gaining momentum in the early 1960s, to regulate
>>> or stop the hunt for young harp seals off the coast of Newfoundland.
>>> Both Davies and the NBSPCA quickly rose to national attention through
>>> the NBSPCA Save the Seals Fund that Davies created 1965. Although
>>> Davies enjoyed strong support from the NBSPCA, in May, 1968, the board
>>> of directors voted to split the Society off from the save-the-seals
>>> campaign and return to a focus on the protection of domestic animals
>>> in New Brunswick. The split seems to have been an amicable one,
>>> however. Davies for his part in 1969 converted the NBSPCA Save the
>>> Seals Fund into the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW),
>>> which remained centred in Fredericton. In 1977 Davies took the IFAW
>>> out of New Brunswick and to the United States, after the Canadian
>>> Federal Government threatened to revoke the organization’s charitable
>>> status. IFAW is today one of the largest animal rights organizations
>>> in the world.
>>>
>>> Davies’ leaving the NBSPCA plunged the Society into a financial
>>> crisis, although the exact causes and circumstances of the crisis are
>>> unclear. By the end of the 1970s the Society had righted itself, now
>>> under the leadership of Executive Director Ray Ward. Although the
>>> Society maintained a small network of part-time Inspectors, funding
>>> was precarious through the 1980s. Many functions had been assumed by
>>> the larger branch societies, and the NBSPCA itself was relatively
>>> inactive. (For more on this episode in the history of the NBSPCA, see
>>> Christy Clarke, IFAW Begins: Brian Davies and the New Brunswick Humane
>>> Community (unpublished MA thesis, the Department of History, the
>>> University of New Brunswick, 2009)).
>>>
>>> The 1990s brought a revival of government interest in the NBSPCA and
>>> in animal protection issues. In 1996 the Liberal government of Frank
>>> McKenna appointed an SPCA task force. Acting on the recommendations of
>>> the task force, the legislature in 1997 passed amendments to the SPCA
>>> Act. These modernized the act, set up the current system of
>>> government-sanctioned Animal Protection Officers (replacing the older
>>> inspector system), established the new APOs with the status of peace
>>> officers, and gave the government greater authority over the Society’s
>>> operations. Under new president James Little (elected in 1997), change
>>> came rapidly, including a shift of the Society’s office from Moncton
>>> to Fredericton and a one-time grant of $150,000 from government for
>>> training and implementation (1999).
>>>
>>> Under Chief APO Paul Melanson, the corps of APOs underwent a rapid
>>> professionalization after 2000 (although most remained part-time
>>> officials). Exercising their increased legal authority, the officers
>>> launched a number of large puppy mill seizures that raised public
>>> awareness of the Society, but that generated large expenditures. By
>>> 2005 the Society was in financial difficulties, and was obliged to
>>> turn to government for special grants to cover its campaign against
>>> puppy mills.
>>>
>>> The financial difficulties of the Society were eased somewhat in 2009,
>>> when the NBSPCA assumed the contract to provide dog control services
>>> in the rural areas, a service previously delivered directly by
>>> government. The new financial stability allowed the Society to move to
>>> its current offices on the grounds of Fredericton’s former
>>> experimental farm, to hire a number of full-time staff, and to assume
>>> complete financial responsibility for animal protection in the
>>> province. In 2010, after years of advocacy by the Society, government
>>> proclaimed new legislation establishing mandatory inspection and
>>> licensing of pet establishments (including dog kennels) and giving the
>>> NBSPCA authority for that licensing. In 2010 the Society established a
>>> province-wide hot-line that could be used by the public to report
>>> allegations of cruelty and abuse. The NBSPCA was also assisted in
>>> these years by a substantial bequest from the estates of Forbes and
>>> Ruth MacLeod, long-time SPCA supporters in New Brunswick. By 2012,
>>> after a challenging decade of growth and change, the Society had
>>> attained a level of functioning and stability comparable to those of
