An investigation into distressed animals has resulted in the largest animal seizure in the history of Calgary, Canada.
On Tuesday, members of the Calgary Humane Society’s protection and
investigations team responded to a home and seized 1,037 domesticated
mice, 80 fish, three cats and three dogs.
Members of the Calgary Police Service, Animal Services, and the Calgary Fire Department assisted with the investigation. “By volume, this is the largest animal seizure in Calgary history,” said Brad Nichols, senior manager of cruelty investigation with the Calgary Humane Society.
“275 animals had to be euthanized on intake due to injuries.”
Nichols says the investigation into the matter continues as the animals
undergo veterinary assessment and treatment but charges are pending
against the owner of the animals.
The health inspector has deemed the home uninhabitable.
