Accused animal abuser loses bid to own animals; Alberta judge adds conditions

55 year old April Dawn Irving has lost an appeal of a court order banning her from owning any animals.

Irving was in provincial court in Lethbridge Wednesday trying to convince a judge to amend her bail conditions on a charge of animal cruelty.

The judge instead, ruled she can’t own, possess or control any animals and even added two more conditions.

A police officer can go to her property near Milk River during the day to ensure Irving is complying with the order.

He also prohibited her from owning or possessing any firearms and she must surrender any firearms to police within the next 15 days.

Irving was charged after five dogs were found dead on her property near Milk River at the end of January.
