MONTREAL, June 21 — Canada has launched an investigation after some 500 puppies — 38 of them dead — were found on board a Ukraine International Airlines plane at the Toronto airport, officials said yesterday. The surviving French bulldogs, a popular breed in Canada, were suffering from symptoms including dehydration, weakness and vomiting when they were found on the flight from Ukraine which landed at Toronto Pearson Airport on June 13, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said in a statement.A dog handler who was picking up another animal from the airport cargo area where the puppies were discovered last Saturday told the CBC of a “horror scene,” adding: “It was a nightmare.
UIA offered its “condolences for the tragic loss of animal life on our flight” and said on Facebook that it was working with local authorities.Most buyers believe the animals are bred in Canada, but the reality is “we have no idea how many dogs come in, where they go, where they come from,” he said, adding that there was “potentially some organised crime component.”
“You mentioned 500 French bulldogs. If those are going for sale at US$3,000 to US$4,000 a dog, that's a massive amount of money,” he told the broadcaster. — AFP
