The video of this abusive dog trainer has sparked outrage in the
online environment. Thousands of netizens took to social media to express their
disgust with regards to the trainer’s actions and have called for swift
justice. Please show your support to ensure this trainer is harshly punished
and is never allowed to work with dogs again!
It all seemed to be just a normal day for Pascal Lecourt, a dog
trainer at the Balinghem Club Canin in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France.
Today’s mission was to train a German Shepherd type dog. Mr. Lecourt allows a
camera to film the procedures for educational purposes. Midway through the
training session, Mr. Lecourt grows increasingly nervous and agitated with the
dog. In just a matter of seconds, he will reach the boilding point. At that
moment, the trainer can be seen grabbing the German Shepherd dog by its collar
and viciously swinging him around his back, before throwing the dog to the
ground in a fit of rage.
The dog’s owners were extremely displeased with the trainer’s
actions and have uploaded the footage on Facebook it an attempt to name and
shame the ruthless trainer.
It turns out that the trainer was involved in another outrageous
incident back in 2008, which resulted in the closure of the kennel club Mr.
Lecourt worked for due to ‘disagreement on the club’s guidelines in its
operation’.
Mr. Lecourt then admitted that his training methods were inhumane
and issued the following statement: ‘I know that my actions are tough, but it’s
better than euthanasia. The other method that could be used is the electric
collar and I refuse to do that. The video is three months old and is set-up on
behalf of the owner, because the dog had missed his defense patent and wanted
revenge. He contacted me and my entire staff to threaten us and also got in
touch with the judge of the tournament in an attempt to change his judgement.
We, the undersigned, are appalled by the behavior exhibited by Pascal
Lecourt and demand a swift investigation into this matter. This heartless man
needs to be severely punished and never be allowed to train animals again. In
addition, we request that the Balinghem Club Canin has its operating license
revoked and the facility is shut down permanently.
