An ugly lie:' Ottawa Humane Society says they won't kill convoy protesters' pets​

The Ottawa Humane Society is addressing misinformation online that it would seize and euthanize pets from "Freedom Convoy" demonstrators, calling it a "Big Lie."

A statement from Ottawa Humane Society President and CEO Bruce Roney comes after former U.S. politician Rudy Giuliani said on Twitter Monday that, "(Prime Minister) Trudeau has now decreed he will kill the dogs and cats of the protesting truckers."

Roney says misinformation online spiralled from "misinterpretations" of a tweet from Ottawa Bylaw on Feb. 17, that was directed at animal owners taking part in the demonstration in downtown Ottawa.

"If you are unable to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions, your animal will placed into protective care for 8 days, at your cost. After 8 days, if arrangements are not made, your animal will be considered relinquished," Ottawa Bylaw said.

Roney says that tweet was misrepresented online that protesters' pets were to be confiscated and euthanized as "payback" for the protest.

"No humane society would agree to euthanizing pets out of spite," Roney said Friday.

"It was an ugly lie invented by someone with an agenda."

Ask owners who have had pets seized... out of spite... and never saw them again.

That said, it's not likely that this would/did happen. Too many people would be up in arms and Humane Societies have an image to uphold still that they're somehow the good guys.

Turns out both sides are bad at propaganda.

Problem these days is ya don't have to be any good. Folk are so polarized (and stupid) they'll lap up whatever preposterous garbage anybody says.

Considering all the issues with humane societies lately, SPCA's and the Ontario versions of, I don't blame people having a concern about their pets.

But still.
