The Crown wants a stiff sentence for a Calgary man who abused, starved and killed a dog and cat.

Gord Haight is asking a judge for a sentence of 2 1/2 to three years — plus probation — for Nicolino Camardi. Haight also is asking that Camardi face a lifetime ban on owning any animals. Haight says Camardi’s abuse of the two animals was a case of “shocking and callous neglect.”

He adds that Camardi’s behaviour has been met with universal public revulsion. The starved dog was found dead in a back alley with tape around its muzzle, while the dead cat was found with green painter’s tape covering most of its face.

The judge is expected to sentence Camardi on Friday.
