Sooke resident charged with animal cruelty in dog’s death
Sooke resident Dr. Philip Ney has been charged with animal cruelty following the death of his six-year-old mixed breed dog Star.
“Apparently Star had given birth to many litters of puppies over the years and had whelped 14 puppies in January,” says BC SPCA senior animal protection officer Erika Paul.
“According to Ney only five puppies in the litter survived and he believes the rest died from exposure to the elements.” Star had to be rushed to an emergency vet following the births and the examining veterinarian advised Ney that Star likely had a necrotic fetus still inside her and would need further hospital care and possible surgery for her life-threatening condition.
“Ney disregarded the advice of the veterinarian and took Star home without further diagnostics or effective treatment. She was found dead five days later by a volunteer search group and the results of the necropsy confirm that there was a necrotic fetus in her birthing canal,” says Paul.
“Her abdomen was full of pus and her uterus had ruptured. She would have suffered an extremely painful death due to the lack of veterinary care.”
Ney makes his first court appearance on Aug. 3 at 9 a.m.at the Western Communities Courthouse.
Yeah…wow…

“”We’re allowing those things to slip away, Ney said. “”We have to go back to good old Christian morality of ‘love your neighbour as well as yourself’ … and get away from the narcissism of everyone demanding the rights of the individual and people not caring for one another.””
But being Christian doesn’t include the animals I guess….
He is against women’s rights, human rights and animal rights. Disgusting.
A doctor of what? Where is his empathy? Breeding mixed breed dogs?
He was a psychiatrist. He was a shitty one too.
Karma will take care of this waste of Skin
Meanwhile 20,000 kids are dying of starvation today. I wonder what they did to deserve that karma. It doesn’t come soon enough because it doesn’t exist. Sigh.
Samantha Bondue 🙁
Exactly. This makes me so furious.
This is sickening! Poor poor Star. You didn’t deserve an owner like Dr. Ney!! What a bastard.
Sick SOB!
bloody horrendous!!
Apparently the psychiatrist needs a psychiatrist….very sad
Omg :*(
Jail time is in order!
This just breaks my heart
Wow – unreal
Sick bastard
Asshole!
This whole story makes me sick at heart. Whatever the punishment it will never be harsh enough. This Dr. of Psychiatry has a very sick mind.
I agree with Skylar he was a horrible psychiatrist. I saw him 3 times. On the 3rd time he told me I was living a F’ing boring life. Left the office in tears. Never felt comfortable with him.
His treatment of Star is unbelievable disgusting. She wasn’t a pet. Star was a puppy mill. Ney I think did it for the money which doesn’t make sense. Being a Dr. he had $$$. The whole thing is rotten. Throw the book at him.
