In October, Kendall Goheen of Richmond British Columbia allegedly stabbed and killed the pets that he co-owned with his ex-wife. He has been charged with nine counts of animal cruelty.
I published this because (to date) this man is reportedly still not under arrest. This story needs to remain in the news.
The family's 70-pound boxer and two cats suffered multiple stab wounds and other trauma, before being placed in a freezer in Goheen's home.
His ex-wife, Latia Del Riviero, who found the animals in the freezer Oct. 7. She called police.
The local SPCA was called to the house but when officers arrived, Goheen refused to speak to them. Goheen allegedly left the animals' bodies in a plastic container outside his house. No wonder, officials with the BC SPCA called it one of the most disturbing cases they have encountered in recent memory, according to a news account, CBC Canada.
Goheen's charges fall under both the B.C. Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Criminal Code of Canada.
According to another news account, Del Riviero said Goheen loved the animals, but blamed the medication he had been taking for depression.? Apparently, he had recently lost his job.
Goheen is now believed to be in Saskatchewan; a warrant has been issued for his arrest. However, to date, he reportedly remains free. What's up with that
There's lots of data to indicate that when people are readily able to commit these sorts of heinous crimes to animals, it's only a matter of people before people are also attacked. Blame the drugs or not, at some point we need to be responsible for our own actions.
