GRAVENHURST, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 16, 2012) - The Ontario SPCA is seeking the public's assistance in a case of suspected animal cruelty.

"The Ontario SPCA continues to encourage everyone to be responsible animal owners," says Senior Inspector Steve Toy. "Anyone that has a challenge caring for an animal is encouraged to contact their local Ontario SPCA, Humane Society, or veterinarian for advice and options that are available to ensure the animal gets the care it requires."
