- Posted to Justice for Mary by Jayne Cvetanoski
To: Crown Counsel for the province of British Columbia, Canada and the Honourable sentencing Judge, Provincial Court of British Columbia
MAXIMUM SENTENCE FOR BRIAN WHITLOCK, WHO HAS PLEAD GUILTY OF CAUSING UNNECESSARY PAIN AND SUFFERING TO CAPTAIN THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG..
We the undersigned request that the honourable sentencing Judge in the Provincial Court of British Columbia apply the maximum penalty available under the law...

Captain was a two year old German
Shepherd dog who was discovered on July 18, 2012
wrapped in a bloody sheet and left in a dumpster in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada. When Captain was found he was emaciated, and had also been
stabbed and brutally beaten with a heavy chain and baseball bat, being rendered
quadriplegic and with brain hemorrhaging. Despite the best efforts of those
caring for him, Captain passed away from cardiac arrest shortly after being
rescued from the dumpster.
Brian Whitlock, Captain's owner, was charged with "wilfully causing unnecessary
pain, suffering, or injury to an animal" contrary to Section 445.1(1)(a) of the
Criminal Code of Canada.
Captain suffered horribly. Captain was beaten, stabbed, and starved, and was still living, when he was thrown into a dumpster.
What was done to Captain was an act of violent cruelty.
It is a well-documented fact that those who abuse animals may also become violent toward humans and thus pose a risk to society.
BRIAN WHITLOCK HAS RECENTLY PLEADED GUILTY, so we respectfully petition for the following:
MAXIMUM SENTENCE FOR BRIAN WHITLOCK, GUILTY OF CAUSING UNNECESSARY PAIN AND SUFFERING TO CAPTAIN THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG.
That the honourable sentencing Judge in the
Provincial Court of British Columbia apply the maximum penalty available
under the law for this offence, which is 5 years in prison. That the court
also, in accordance with Section 447.1(1)(a) of the Criminal Code of Canada,
"make an order prohibiting the accused from owning, having the custody or control
of or residing in the same premises as an animal or a bird" for the rest of his
lifetime. Further, that the court, in accordance with Section 447.1(1)(b), "on
its own motion, order that the accused pay to a person or an organization that
has taken care of an animal or a bird as a result of the commission of the
offence [in this case, the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals] the reasonable costs that the person or organization
incurred in respect of the animal or bird."
HERE IS ANOTHER PETITION FOR CAPTAIN TO SUPPORT AS WELL PLEASE.

I am so sick of twisted people getting away with murder!
Canada needs the death penalty & I don't care if 'it's just a dog or cat' - a murder is a fucking murder!!!
I say put a bullet into this waste of flesh & be done with him. He deserves nothing more than that.
I would prefer slow hanging for this bastard,and yes I gladly sign the petition.
I'm with you wholehearedly
I hope he goes to prison and he gets beaten by the inmates and then he will know what pain is.I hope he is never allowed to keep another pet for his entire life time.Be ruthless Judges give him what he deserves.
Was sad to read that someone could be that cruel, and toss aside a beautiful creature whose sole purpose is to love unconditionally. Saddens me to think that poor dog was left to die and suffer pain unimaginable. My hope is that Brian Whitlock receives the max of 5 years in prison.
I think he needs more than 5 years. If he did this to a human he would get more. Now you may say, but there is a difference. Well yes and no. The difference is that an animal would never do this to another species for no reason other than to eat the species for survival. Humans do the most self serving crimes to each other and to other species. So why do we say give this man 5 years for doing this to a dog and more years if he does it to a human? Because a human has rights. Because a human can think and talk like a human. Animals do not talk , think or feel like us, therefore they should not share the same rights. This way of thinking is archaic, and is slowly changing. Because there is a connection to animal abuse and human abuse. Humans who abuse humans practice their abuse on animals because they can get away with it and as a result remain and continue to be abusive. Eventually they will graduate to human crimes and abuse. Besides, take a real close look at they way animals feel. They feel pain and pleasure just like us because they are mammals. Shame on you if you think otherwise. You are living in an unconscious state of mind, numb and arrogant. wake up and see the real truth.
Right on the money Sia
Lock him up and throw away the key Anyone that can do that to an innocent animal doesn't deserve to be in society Don't give him the chance to hurt another innocent animal
If it were up to me not only would he get maximum sentence for his crime, he would receive same torture he put Captain through!! Let the asshole know how it feels!!
Sounds about right!
I believe in 'an eye for an eye'. May he rot in hell.
Brian Whitlock must receive the maximum sentence by law!!! What he committed was murder on an innocent German Shepherd, named Captain! It sickens me to the core of my stomach! Captain didn't have a fighting chance & think about the pain (Physically & Mentally) he endured!!! Brian Whitlock has no remorse for his actions so that makes him a serial dog killer if given another chance he'll persevere without a doubt and laugh in the face of the law because stiffer/harsher penalties are not put in...

PLEASE send a strong urgent message this deviant, depraved behavior will not be tolerated in your country!! Make Brian Whitlock held accountable for his heinous actions..He chose his criminal actions by his own accord all because he wanted Captain to be submissive, is this really how it's suppose to be done? I don't think so!!! Captain was put on this earth like any other living creature to enjoy all the beauty life had to offer! Dogs have a short life span and they depend on humans!
Stop those dummies suckers,making insanity...
I think the fair penalty would be to starve him, stab him, belt him with a bat, wrap him up, and chuck him in the dumpster. It's called karma... wish the courts would use it. The penalty should be whatever you do wrong to an animal is what happens to you! !!
I am on the same wagon with you guys!! Would love to start my own bounty hunter business taking out assholes like this!! Whose in????
in agreement with you both!!!
absolutely heartbreaking
This is heartbreaking, I can hardly stand it, This sick human being needs to be charged with murder, and extreme violence towards an animal while causing suffering and pain, its horrible how someone would do this, it makes my heart cry and saddens my soul...
I can't even look...
i know...its really that horrible...
let me have this pice of shit! time is just to easy in this country, we will be paying for him to eat, exercise, and get rehabilitated, the whole law sistem is a JOKE! wake up people is time to do something about that.
