Two charged in Winnipeg after alleged torture and killing of cats posted to dark web

A search warrant was executed in the city's Lord Roberts neighbourhood, and a 55-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were arrested

A man and a woman in Winnipeg face numerous animal cruelty charges in a case where police allege cats were tortured and videos and photos of the incidents were posted to the internet.

Const. Stephen Spencer says the Office of the Provincial Veterinarian Animal Welfare contacted police in August about images of animals being tortured and killed that were posted on the dark web.
