The story has garnered national headlines. Veterinarian Dr. Mahavir Singh Rekhi who conducts business at Skyway Animal Hospital in St. Catharines, ON, was given a 10 month suspension from treating animals, after being found guilty of abusing pets brought to him for medical attention and care.
Videos have circulated clearly showing the vet choking and beating dogs and swinging a cat by its tail. They are very disturbing images to view.
The College of Veterinarians of Ontario revoked Dr. Rekhi's vet license for a mere 10 months, a sentence that could be reduced to 4 months if he takes a sensitivity 2 1/2 day course.
A SLAP ON THE WRIST! That's what this monster got and it's not right!
