In a case which truly brings out the difficulty of this issue, R v Randell (1989 96 AR 237), the accused kick and beat his dog to death with a hockey stick in response to the dog having attacked his son. The Court fined him $1,000 noting that "the accused's actions went far, far beyond what could be considered reasonable discipline for an animal."
In 1996, the Newfoundland court considered the case of R v Higgins (451 APR 295) where a cat owner wished to discipline his cat "Sammy" who he suspected had overturned the garbage pail. He ran after it and "accidentally" broke its leg with a broom. Higgins was acquitted of the animal cruelty charge
Oddly, the Criminal Code penalty for uttering a threat to kill, poison or injure an animal or bird that is the property of any person, is greater than actually being cruel to the animal, as it can be proceeded with as a indictable offence with attendant liability to imprisonment for a term of 24 months.
