Hi there,

Thanks for your kind words, however I don't consider myself a hero by any means. I just did what I had to.
I saw the torture video in court and I wouldn't have been able to go home and look at myself in the mirror if I didn't try to help in some way.
There were quite a few people directly involved in the search that deserve as much, if not more, recognition and credit.
Detective Gordon Scott and Detective-Constable John Margetson of Toronto Police (14 Division) & Amy White and John Dobranski of the Toronto Humane Society are some of the most passionate, dedicated professionals in the city.
As far as our animal cruelty laws, there have been no significant changes since 1892. I'd like to thank that we, as a society, have evolved enough to elicit such a change. Our animals should no longer be considered 'Property' (which is what the law classes them as right now). For more info on getting things changed, you can visit a great Toronto-based website - the Toronto Coalition for AntiCruelty Legislation: www.anticruelty.ca
Take care and again, thank-you.

Katie Woodward
