B.C. breeder pleads guilty, sentenced for causing distress to animals

A Clearwater woman has been handed a 10-year ban on breeding dogs commercially after she pleaded guilty to causing distress to animals in Kamloops Provincial Court on Friday, Nov. 21.
Bonnie Milligan, born in 1952, was also sentenced to one year of probation. She pleaded down from two animal cruelty charges — causing unnecessary pain or suffering to an animal and failing to provide life necessities to an animal — after the BC SPCA seized 32 dogs from her property in February 2024.
