Suspected Animal Broker In Montreal Eludes Investigation

For weeks I have been researching this particular individual on Facebook, he is persistent, relentless, vulgar & a suspected animal broker.

The posts below contain images, prices, buyers & supporters of what is undoubtedly a business that has yet to be held accountable by the Agencies with the power to cease his activity in Montreal, Canada.
The animals listed are mainly from this past weekend with a few posts from April 2013

All of these posts are PUBLIC, with 4 Facebook accounts he uses at different intervals due to people reporting his activity he has not been investigated as of yet. I hope that will change very soon as I am determined to do what is right for the Animals involved in his less than ethical business transactions.

Please SHARE this, if people refuse to take a stand for those that can not stand for themselves than these animal brokering situations continue to exist!

I had received a private message on Facebook from Rian Hicks in regards to my damnation of his brokering and tried to encourage him to post the names of the breeders, veterinarians as well as their contact information, he immediately messaged back spewing profanity. Anyone that questions his activity is publically called out and demeaned in the most vulgar of ways.

Here are a few of said posts:





So due to the public nature of his ignorance, his vulgarity and what I consider non ethical animal brokering I feel it a responsibility to bring this to the publics attention.

It is not Slander, Libel or Defamation of character to use this mans posts against him, they are his words, his pictures, his buyers. Guilt by association is a tragic way to be viewed in public but also necessary, if these people wouldn't buy animals they wouldn't be bred, sought or shipped!

It is appalling to me that he eludes responsibility, that animals in shelters & rescues are dying everyday waiting for loving homes while these business dealings continue to happen.

This has to end!

There is just so much more to this operation than any one person can possibly share. Nearly ALL of these innocent animals have been shipped to Newfoundland & Labrador, a Province shipping Rescue Animals out to Nova Scotia as they try to control animal population in their region.

It is disheartening to say the least that this has been happenning not only for a few days but a few months. How does one man have access to COUNTLESS animals in two days if not from Backyard Breeders or a Mill Facility?

Why numerous Agencies in Montreal & NL Labrador have yet to act is beyond comprehension. Although according to Mr. Rian Hicks he has Lawyers, RCMP, City Police & the Montreal SPCA in his favour, that anyone who complains is a 'joke.'
