Defends dogs, man beaten

How absolutely sick can people get????

All Dan Palmer wanted to do was stop the dogs from being beaten.

Instead, Palmer was beaten and is clinging to life in critical condition at London Health Sciences Centre’s Victoria Hospital.

“Dan has a good heart and he heard those dogs in distress and he went upstairs and told them to stop beating the dogs,” said Gary James, 43, a long-time friend of Palmer.

“He’s a special guy. Everybody here loves him and there isn’t one person here who isn’t hurting because of what happened to Dan.

Palmer, 49, was found in a stairwell at the nine-storey apartment building at 580 Dundas St., across the street from police headquarters, after officers went there around 1:30 a.m. Friday to investigate a report that someone was beating dogs in a ninth-floor apartment.

The officers arrived and heard dogs yelping in pain, then entered an apartment where three dogs were cowering in fear.Police called Animal Control officers to rescue the animals, then arrested Christopher Martin, 26, of London and charged him with causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal.

When police started to walk Martin out to a cruiser, they were confronted by another man who tried to stop them, became belligerent and bit the arresting officer on the hand.

The man charged with beating Palmer and biting the officer is Carl Boyer, 26, of London, who is charged with aggravated assault.

Residents at the apartment complex on the weekend Saturday and Sunday said it was Palmer who called police either before or after a verbal confrontation at the apartment where the dogs lived.

Several said they’d seen a man kick at the dogs in the past “for not listening.”

“A couple of days ago I saw him kick one of the dogs and I confronted him and told him not to kick the dog and he said he’d get someone to beat me up,” said James.

And if the poor dogs had bitten the cretin THEY would have been put down. I think we've got it backwards.

Your opening sentence said it all Darcie.

Some people should never have animals. Hopefully, they will find loving homes, and will not be too traumatized over the treatment they received with that creep.

I sure hope Dan Palmer recovers. What a shame that someone is beaten for stepping in to help those poor dogs.

Take care,
Pat
