CORNWALL Ontario – The Standard Freeholder has cited court documents identifying Lance Burgess of Cornwall Ontario as being charged with six counts in the case including wounding the animal, abandoning it, and failing to provide care.
The cat has survived and looks to have at least one of its nine lives left after being found in a dumpster.
Burgess did not respond to queries from CFN as of press time.
He’s back in court February 10th.

So sad to see that someone could have so much cruelty in them.
There’s a Lance Burgess in Cornwall with an active Facebook page. Very disturbing.

Lock him up and throw away the key
This scum bag’s court date is this week. Lets hope that the courts do the right thing and lock this scum up for a long time and maybe he will get a taste of his own medicine in jail. Lets hope!
Fortunately this did not involve a child where he likely would have received only a stiff 6 month suspended sentence. Laws on animals seem to be much more severe.
You really think he’ll get jail time? He’ll probably end up with a fine and / or community service.
Whoever this filthy scum bag is lock him up and throw away the key and never let him out at all ever.
