 Jason Evrard, a 27 year old town of Wheatfield man is facing felony charges in a case of animal cruelty with a maximum penalty of 2 years imprisonment. Evrard after a dispute with his grandmother, slammed her 7 year old Lhasa Apso Abby against the floor threatening to break the dog's neck. Abby sustained a fractured pelvis and was treated at a local veterinarian. She is under the care of the SPCA with strict cage rest for the next 8 weeks. Time will tell if Abby is going to require surgery to mend her pelvis. She is a very sweet girl, but is in an immense amount of pain. We are keeping her quiet and calm and administering pain medication as needed. Evrard was apprehended last night at Wheatfield Town Court after he showed up for a court appearance on an unrelated charge. Evrard was arraigned last night at Wheatfield Town Court for felony aggravated animal cruelty. He is set for pre trial date of May 21 at 5pm at the Wheatfield Town Court. We are told that Evrard has a long history of violent behavior that went uncharged until this point. There is evidence that people who commit such horrendous acts of violence against animals are also likely to exhibit this same type of behavior against humans. It is imperative that when warning signs are seen for animal abuse early on that it is documented and reported to the proper authorities. This behavior can often be seen as early as childhood. We take animal cruelty very seriously here at the Niagara County SPCA. Not only are we concerned for the animals that endure this type of brutality, but are concerned for other members of the family. Individuals who witness animal cruelty are encouraged to call the shelter and report such incidents at 716-731-4368. "It is horrible and disturbing that an individual can take their anger and frustration out on an innocent animal", says SPCA Investigator Aaron Kandefer who was the officer that responded to the call when it came in. We are hoping that the court system will agree and sentence Evrard to a maximum penalty. We will keep you updated as this story progresses.
