lakota – Aug 16, 2002 12:00 AM

The decision to remove Lakota from the rest of the pack was based on Lakota's physical injuries which affected Lakota's well being in the pack as well as the condition of shock which would have become life-threatening if left in the main enclosure. Rainy weather conditions continued throughout the day, and physical care was best done under the protective cover and straw beds of the pack holding area. Due to this situation, completing a retirement enclosure is a high priority for the organization. Fundraising has begun and enclosure construction is hoped to start before winter, but is dependent upon funding.
