It’s not that he just kicked the puppy the one time, what he called “uncharacteristic”. According to the reports at the time, when the SPCA went to check on the dog, they found this: > [@](#): > > [When two B.C. SPCA officers entered the 39th-floor condo of a downtown Vancouver building Wednesday night they found a Doberman pinscher puppy in its crate, surrounded by the stench of its own urine with its food and water bowls out of reach, according to court documents. > > Once let out of her cage, Sade — the one-year-old female puppy — was skittish around people and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals officers said she appeared physically abused, according to the information to obtain a search warrant filed in B.C.

So he’s gone from heading up corporations to being a dogwalker? ---

I’d give a pass on the first 2 ‘kicks’ and would consider them ‘nudges’ more then ‘kicks’ and what the canine species ‘great ancestor’ accepted as a condition of domestication. The 3rd kick seemed to cross the line but only because the following leash pulls can I say that it was confirmed. ---

Funny how Center Plate’s investigation concluded at the same time as the new football season is opening. I wonder if they saw boycotting happening and decided ol’ dickwad had to go. ---

In a just world, he would be sentenced to fucking try that on either of my dogs while both were in the room. :mad: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-dont-you-find-a-puppy-to-kick/696672.md?page=1)
