GuZoo suggests a targeted attack by anti-zoo activists after two wolves found dead Tuesday morning.
GuZoo suggests anti-zoo activists poisoned the wolves that led to their death.
Irene Gustafson says the zoo veterinary did an on site autopsy and suggests one animal died of cyanide poisoning.
She is hoping to send the other animal to the University of Calgary for extensive testing to determine the cause of death.
GuZoo has been long criticized by activists for unsanitary conditions and a lack of clean drinking water.
Gustafson says a few months ago, they received a threatening letter from an unknown sender and says they are concerned to say the least.
She says, they have reason to be speculate but are still awaiting facts.
The police have also been notified but it’s not known at this time how they will proceed.
The two adult wolves just had five wolf pups but Gustafson says they are doing fine and are being bottle fed.
