The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) watched for a long time before it took Transport Eugène Nadeau Inc. to court for abusing animals it trucked and violating the Health of Animals Regulations. The Sainte-Marguerite, Que. company pleaded guilty in January of this year to seven counts of breaking those regulations between May 9, 2007 and Oct. 23, 2008. The offenses occurred in Rivière du Loup, Saint-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska, Vallée-Jonction and Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot.
