🚨WARNING: Graphic Content! @AnimalJustice_ has filed a complaint against @OntarioProvincialPolice officers over a cruel and likely illegal event that occurred last week after they hit an injured deer with an axe, leaving the poor defenseless animal to die. 💔🦌 On September 3rd, two OPP officers responded to a call near downtown Kenora, Ontario, concerning a deer that had been hit by a vehicle. The officers decided to euthanize the animal—but instead of using a safe and humane method, or calling for support, they violently struck the deer with the blunt end of an axe. Local residents who witnessed the horrific incident said it took over an hour for her to die. 💔 One witness said that the police hit the deer “once and left.” She claims that they “pretty much took out her eye, it was pretty much gone.” WAN’s Canadian correspondent @Jklamlam spoke with an officer from the Ontario Provincial Police Department who said that there is currently an internal investigation happening into the incident. It’s illegal to cause animals unnecessary pain or suffering, and police are NOT above the law. 🚨TAKE ACTION TODAY by commenting on @OntarioProvincialPolice’s page urging them to hold the officers responsible for this heinous act. 🙏💔🦌 Via: @animaljustice_ Video by: Marcey Danae 🌍👉@worldanimalnews_ @peace_4animals #WorldAnimalNews #animaljustice #animalrights #canada #ontario #wildlife
