Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers has reported on social media that April Dawn Irving has been found in Manitoba, and will now face animal cruelty charges in Alberta.
It was in 2014 when more than 200 dogs were seized from Milk River, Alberta. The Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society cared for many of those dogs and says on social media that it was the worst case of animal neglect they had ever seen.
Irving never showed up for her court dates in Lethbridge. In 2010, when Irving lived in the Foam Lake area in Saskatchewan, she had more than 80 dogs taken from her property. Irving was also accused of mistreating animals in 2007 in Fort McMurray, but those charges were withdrawn. Back in 2017, it was thought that Irving was living in Jamaica. Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers thanks everyone in Canada and beyond who helped to find April Irving.
