Director's Den, Note from Executive Director, John Blankenship
April 26, 2008
Currently, a painful chapter in Wolf Haven’s history is being revisited by local media outlets. Last week the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) brought its case against a former Executive Director of Wolf Haven who is now being charged with violating the Animal Welfare Act in 2005. These charges relate to incidents surrounding a then 15-year-old male wolf named Akela.
Many of you were probably made aware of the situation back in 2005 when it occurred, but for some, you may be hearing about it for the first time. If you any questions, concerns or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me at director@wolfhaven.org or directly by phone at 1-800-448-9653.
