Canine carcasses in restaurant freezer
EDMONTON - Health authorities are investigating after four carcasses that appear to be dogs were found in the freezer of an Edmonton restaurant.
'In the restaurant-inspection area, this is the strangest thing that I've seen, hands down'—health inspector
The discovery was made Tuesday at the Panda Garden restaurant on Kingsway Avenue.
The Edmonton S.P.C.A. received a call about the carcasses, and then notified the Capital Health Authority.
Richard Reive, the health inspector who was sent to the restaurant, says the carcasses were found in the walk-in freezer.
"Picture about a 30-lb. animal that's been skinned and frozen solid," Reive says. "It's a canine of some form. Whether it's a dog or coyote I can't say. In the restaurant-inspection area, this is the strangest thing that I've seen, hands down."
Reive says wildlife officials will determine what species the animals are. He says charges of having uninspected meat in a restaurant will almost certainly be laid.
Reive says he hasn't been able to question the owners, since the restaurant was closed, and they haven't made themselves available to him.

How can anyone do that? It's cruel and mean. I think it's a shame anyone would do that, it's the same kind of people who would drown dogs or cats.
