Two British nurses say they faced retribution after reporting poor care at a Canadian care home. Administrative actions now target them instead.

In France, activists accused a dog training centre in Normandy of abusing animals. They filed complaints. Officials in Calvados examine the allegations.

Both cases involve ongoing mistreatment and attempts to silence whistleblowers.

The nurses claim that their concerns were ignored as minor issues.

The whistleblowers argue the system prioritises institutions over staff safety.

Animal rights groups say the centre's methods violate basic welfare standards.

Local authorities have promised a comprehensive review of the complaints.

The investigations could lead to criminal charges if evidence is verified.
