If ever I see anyone abusing my dog this way she would have wished she was never born.
CALGARY- The Humane Society has been called in to investigate a case of alleged animal abuse, that was captured on video at a dog daycare.
Trina Riel, a former employee of Fur Kids, captured three videos with her cell phone. One shows a groomer hitting a dog with a brush, while another shows the groomer trying to chase a dog out of a kennel using a vacuum cleaner wand.
“It’s absolutely disgusting,” Riel says. “These are people’s kids, for some of them.”
Riel was an apprentice to the groomer shown in the video, and worked at Fur Kids since December. She quit earlier this week, and says she went to the authorities with the video because she disagreed with the way animals were regularly mistreated.

A groomer at a downtown dog daycare and grooming facility was fired Thursday evening after allegations of animal abuse surfaced late last week, the daycare's owner confirmed.Dean Miles, who owns Fur Kids Daycare, said he was shown videos last Friday that showed the groomer apparently striking a dog and trying to force another out of a kennel using a vacuum cleaner.The videos were allegedly taken last Tuesday by a former employee, who was also the groomer's apprentice, Miles said.
"The safety of our dogs is the most important thing because that's our business," Miles said. "When things like this happen, you've got to react to it."This is the first time there have been any allegations of animal abuse at the daycare, said Miles.
The Calgary Humane Society is currently investigating and has seen "several" videos, said Brad Nichols, head of the Calgary Humane Society's protection and investigations department."We're lookingat the video, we're gathering statements, and once we have everything compiled, we'll send it to the Crown prosecutor's office for an opinion on appropriate enforcement action, if any," Nichols said.The Humane Society receives a "handful" of abuse allegations against groomers and boarders each year, he said.
