'Quanto's Law' takes effect in Canada: Harsh new consequences for killing police dogs

Pretty sure US states have similar laws than this, but as of this morning, nation wide in Canada, all police dog are protected under this law. Harm or kill a police dog and you're facing jail time.
Quote:
Thanks to a new law inspired by an Edmonton police dog, anybody convicted of intentionally killing a service animal can now face up to five years in jail.
Quanto's Law, named after the Edmonton police dog that was stabbed to death while chasing down a suspect in a parking lot, officially came into effect on Thursday. Before then, animal cruelty was the strictest possible charge for people who killed or hurt police dogs, horses, and other service animals.
"The service that our dogs and service animals in general are capable of providing is really remarkable," said Sgt. Adam Segin, the Canine Unit Acting Staff Sergeant for the Edmonton Police. "It's nice that there's now this formal recognition of their service, how valuable it is."
Paul Joseph Vukmanich was sentenced to 26 months in prison after pleading guilty to six charges in the Quanto case, including one for killing the dog. But the short sentence prompted concerns about the limited laws around service animal cruelty.
In 2013, the Conservatives pledged pass legislation creating a specific charge for harming service animals.
On Thursday, Multiculturalism Minister Tim Uppal joined Edmonton police officers to officially mark the enactment of the new law.
"This sends a strong message to anyone that was to injure or kill a service animal in the line of duty will be met with very serious consequences," Uppal said. "They're there to protect us and we should be protecting them."

Where's the jail time for all the citizens dogs that are shot and killed?
Many times without even just cause for being in/near the home.
Oh wait, I forgot about the special rights you get with the badge.
my bad.

One step at a time.
Right now its because thousands are spent per dogs for training and they are very effective. House pets aren't very useful. But I definitely agree. Every pet should be treated like humans and there should be harsh penalties against animal abuse

I can watch Sophie's Choice on a loop while jerking off. Death or injury to dogs I cannot handle. I you run afoul of the law due to being busted by a dog. You fucked up. Not the dog. Shoot the officer.

Personally I think using lethal force against a dog that's biting you is justifiable. The law just sounds like law-and-order grandstanding.

You can kill the dog sure. I couldn't live with it. It's simply weak.
You got yourself into this situation. Handle it without dealing death to an animal that is acting without knowing what it is doing.

It's precisely because of this that killing it is the only sure way of ending the threat to your own life. It could kill you in moments, and you're not going to do anything about that by reasoning with it.

they are fucking dogs. police shoot dogs with impunity all the time and NEVER get in trouble for it. not ever.
they are fucking violent attack dogs. once a command is given they are completely unpredictable.
i dont think police should be allowed to militarize animals at all.

Exactly. What are you supposed to do? Just lie there while it tears you up? If a cop hits me I am hitting him back, if a dog bites me I am going to kill it. Any animal attacks me and it's law of the jungle it's them or you. Cops are the ones abusing animals by making them do the dirty work. The guy who killed the dog in Edmonton was being attacked he didn't just go stab a dog for no reason.

Quote:
Under the Federal Law Enforcement Animal Protection Act, which went into effect this week, anyone convicted of purposely assaulting, maiming, or killing federal law enforcement animals such as police dogs and horses could be fined at least $1,000 and spend up to 10 years in prison. Previously, the animals were covered by a variety of state, rather than federal, laws.
