The Windsor human society is investigating the origins of a video that shows someone violently slamming a puppy against a door.
People sharing the video online have suggested the video was taken in Windsor. But Melanie Coulter, executive director of the Windsor-Essex County Humane Society, said that has not been confirmed.
“We take this seriously,” she said. “If there is anything that is sent to us we’re going to follow up on it.”
“Our officers are investigating. If anyone has any information about the dog or the individual, we encourage them to contact us or Crime Stoppers.”
The video shows a person hurling a small dog against a door. It then cuts to scene of the dog cowering next a pet cage before the person picks it up by the neck and throws it against the door again.
Coulter wouldn’t comment on the content of the video.
“It’s definitely an open investigation though,” she said. “Our officers are actively pursuing it. They’ve been trying to determine if it did happen in Windsor.”
