Animal Cruelty Case Involves Camel
Reports of a camel on a property in eastern Spokane County led to the recent arrest of a mother and daughter duo already charged with animal cruelty.
The camel belonged to a neighbor, but animal control officers say Kelly J. Covey, 49, had two dogs in her camper - a violation of a court order. The restriction has been in place since a Jan. 29 raid at the property, 6204 N. Idaho Road, that led to charges against Covey, her mother, Carol McMullen, 70, and Mullen's son, James W. McMullen. In addition to the camel, SCRAPS investigators found cows and llamas at 6204 N. Idaho Road that also violated court orders. Read more here.
Sad case but prompts the question, "How does one go about getting a camel around here?"
