No. I think, based on Stephen's comments now, what we do have is how many animal cruelty cases happen and how often those animal cruelty cases are inflicted on a service animal or a police animal in the line of duty. I went through our database to try and pull that specific information out and I couldn't pull that specific information out the way the case law is written.
That requires the knowledge of the local person who is involved knowing that Quanto was a police dog. If this wasn't as high profile a case it may not have ever come out in the finding that it was a police dog, but rather a dog. Very often animal cruelty charges at the federal level are not levelled exactly because of what Mr. Kaye alluded to, which is a disbelief that the penalties...or that it's going to go to conviction, or that it will be a proportional sentencing if it gets to conviction. They'll work to find other ways to charge that criminal so that the criminal does face justice, even if there is the collateral damage of the injury to the animal.
I concur with Mr. Kaye that having a specific offence such as this will allow us to better track each incident of animal cruelty inflicted upon a service animal.
