The animals were French bulldogs, a popular breed in Canada, and Scott Weese of the University of Guelph told CBC that puppy sales are ‘lucrative’ in the country. He suggested most buyers believe the animals are bred in Canada, but the reality is ‘we have no idea how many dogs come in, where they go, where they come from’. Mr Weese added that there was ‘potentially some organised crime component.’

If those are going for sale at $3,000 to $4,000 a dog, that’s a massive amount of money’.
UIA offered its ‘condolences for the tragic loss of animal life on our flight’ and said on Facebook that it was working with local authorities. CBC says the airline declined to answer questions.
