These kids and pets should be given the opportunity to heal together. A Father Put a Shock Collar on His Children and Regularly Tortured Their Pets As Well Sign Now    Dear friends, Authorities have responded to a horrific case of animal and child abuse in Edmonton, Canada. For years, a father and two other adults tortured seven young children and multiple pets in their care — including through beatings, stranglings, other forms of assault, and malnourishment. He also apparently applied a shock collar to some of the children, who ranged from 2 to 13 years old. According to Edmonton's staff sergeant: "Without question, this is one of the most disturbing cases of child abuse that our Child Protection investigators have ever seen." The couple as well as the third adult face upwards of 100 charges, including aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, unlawful confinement, and animal cruelty. The children are now in foster care, while the pet dogs have also been rehomed. But what happens next? It is important that these children and pets remain connected as they work to heal from their trauma together. Even if it is difficult to find a family to take in everyone, local agencies must find a way to keep them regularly connected as they build a new sense of safety. Sign the petition to urge authorities in Edmonton, Canada to implement a plan that will keep them connected to each other as a way to build resiliency!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. These children and dogs have already survived so much; they shouldn't also have to suffer the heartbreak of losing each other. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
