'Horrific' scene as Pet Save Sudbury rescues over 40 dogs in Innerkip, Ont., after owner's death
CBC
Warning: This story contains distressing details.
The director of Pet Save Sudbury said volunteers came upon a "gory" scene at a bungalow in the small Ontario community of Innerkip, about 50 kilometres northeast of London.
More than 40 dogs had been hoarded, possibly for several years, before they turned on one another following the death of their owner, Jill Pessot said.
"It was a very gory scene. It was just so horrific," Pessot said. "And at the same time, I thought, like, 'How does it get this bad?'
"They started to devour the owner who passed away," Pessot said. "Dogs kill each other to survive. No dog should go through that, no human should."
Pessot said the home had been under investigation by Ontario Provincial Police for three years, but it wasn't until officers went to there on a wellness check that they discovered the brutal scene.
After seeing the number of dogs in a distressed state, officers contacted Hillside Kennels Animal Control, a local animal control centre, to assist.
