The public is encouraged to attend the following events to mourn and pay tribute to Muslim family members who lost their lives in last weekend's attack in London, Ont., as well as show their support.
The 69-year-old woman was flown by air ambulance to hospital in Victoria. All three animals were destroyed, but the Tuesday morning incident has raised questions about the behaviour of these animals, which are not considered wildlife by the provincial government, and are a cross between a wolf and domestic dog. The B.C. SPCA is opposed to keeping, breeding and importing wolf-dog hybrids. “These animals are difficult to train and contain, and often show aggression toward other animals and humans,” it says on its website. A husband and wife run the Swell Wolf Education Centre at 2020 Waring Rd. in the South Wellington area, O’Brien said.
VICTORIA Nanaimo RCMP say a woman was airlifted to hospital Tuesday after being attacked by wolfdogs living in a pen on private property.
