Video evidence has been released of Dr. Mahavir Singh Rekhi, who practices at Skyway Animal Hospital on Welland Avenue abusing animals. These series of photos and videos show him beating, punching, choking cats and dogs before they undergo their appointment. 

In one video, Rekhi can be seen picking up a cat under anesthetic, swinging it around and letting its limp body slam up against the side of a cupboard. In another, a puppy getting its nails clipped begins to struggle and Rekhi can be seen using the metal clippers to beat him over the snout. And another shows Rekhi choking a Chihuahua so violently that it defecates. These are only a few examples of the abuse that Rekhi has inflicted on these animals. 

His reasoning for this? He was quoted saying that "if you handle them roughly, they don't do it next time - they would learn their lesson." A former employee states "and they did, every single animal that knew him, would come in and pee."

On August 20,  2016 Rekhi was found guilty and subject to only 10 MONTHS SUSPENSION. Rekhi is eligible to reduce that suspension to FOUR MONTHS if he completes a series of half-day “mentorship sessions,” and seminars pertaining to the proper handling of animals and If he follows through, Rekhi could be treating animals again as early as DECEMBER!!!

This is utterly disgusting, uncalled for and a mere slap on the wrist for something so wrong. IT IS TIME FOR PROPER/HARSHER PUNISHMENT FOR ANIMAL ABUSE!! Rekhi is a Veterinarian - Someone people are supposed to trust with their pets! It's time to act - and have the College of Veterinarians of Ontario, along with many others, to 1) revoke Dr Mahavir Singh Rekhi's license and not allow him to ever practice again and 2) prohibit Rekhi from personally owning any animals.
