Yarmouth, NS \u2013 Lorraine Bain, 68, and Herb Bain, 72, from Plymouth, have been charged\u00a0with permitting an animal to be in distress, contrary to section 26(2) of the Animal\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Protection Act of Nova Scotia. The couple is scheduled to appear in Yarmouth Provincial\u00a0Court on September 16, 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On June 26, 2024, a dog in need of medical care was found by a member of the public on\u00a0the side of the road and reported to the Nova Scotia SPCA. A Special Constable with the\u00a0Nova Scotia SPCA Enforcement department picked up the dog and brought the dog to\u00a0the Yarmouth shelter.\u00a0Upon intake at the shelter, the dog was medically assessed by a veterinary technician.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to his condition, arrangements were made to have a Nova Scotia SPCA veterinarian\u00a0examine the dog. The dog was displaying evidence of distress from a number of medical\u00a0conditions. Following an investigation, the charge was laid against the Bains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bains appealed the seizure of their dog. After both parties presented evidence, the\u00a0Nova Scotia Animal Welfare Appeal Board ruled the seizure was reasonable and carried\u00a0out lawfully under the Animal Protection Act of Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
