At 11:51 am on February 12, 2025, in the 6500 block of Aulds road in Nanaimo, a witness called police after watching a male beating a small brown dog. Witnesses saw him pick up the dog and toss it like a football across the road, put the dog into a black shopping bag and then punch the bag several times. When they confronted the male he began threatening them so they stepped away and called Animal Control and 911.
