A report from Stats Can says Halifax’s homicide rate was the ninth highest among Canadian cities last year, higher than Toronto; Montreal, and Vancouver.
There were 8 homicides in the city giving a rate of 1.91 per 100,000 people.
There have been 12 homicides so far this year.
The SPCA says one of seven malnourished dogs seized from behind an apartment building in Tantallon has died.
The rest are recovering.
Four dogs were being kept in small kennels inside a van and three more were later found in similar conditions.
The dogs were left to lie in their own urine and feces, and one had an untreated broken leg and will likely lose the limb.
The SPCA adds that it’s not the first time its dealt with the owner and charges may be pending.
