Brenda Pearson, who founded the Howling Timbers Animal Sanctuary in Muskegon, described the horrifying July incident involving Sophia Scraver in a lengthy post on Facebook.
She wrote that she believes her granddaughter “was interested in the shiny collar being worn by one of the wolf dogs. A wolf dog that was friendly, loved to be groomed and preferred human attention over treats.”
Pearson continued: “We believe she grabbed his collar and he pulled to get away. She then got her arm stuck in the fence at the elbow and lost her arm.
Pearson said she was investigated by Child Protective Services officials “who found no wrong doing on my part.”
Last Friday, authorities said they found 47 “illegal” wolfdogs at the facility, in addition to “six red foxes, three coyotes, four eastern box turtles and two fawns,” according to the Mirror.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources said the sanctuary is believed to have been illegally breeding animals, according to the news outlet.
Coulda been worse.

Everything is illegal, soon breathing will be illegal

ReplyDeleteExactly... and he won’t post this but it’s the truth ... we have dominion over these animals... all are wild not even something domestic ...that’s sin... it happened and these are the facts.... they all have natural feelings and thougts like we do just we have souls and they don’t .... it’s a risk you take and no harm ... keep the kids away ....
ReplyDeleteIt seems that independent thought is getting close to being illegal. I Harris win should close the deal.
ReplyDeleteI hate stupid people. That poor little baby didn't deserve that.
ReplyDeleteGod bless this little girl and pray that Social Services removes her to a new home and a better family. What idiots to have animals so dangerous they belong in a zoo and the family belongs behind bars.
