At first glance, I thought I was looking at a parody account. But it’s a real thing, complete with a central figure who seems to be channeling Timothy Treadwell.
The non-profit Vancouver Foundation is one of B.C.’s oldest charitable contributors, and in its most recently updated list of grant recipients, it lists a $300,000 grant for a “Decolonial Dog Sanctuary,” a project described as a “form of land-based re-occupation.”
The sanctuary’s overseer is Teresa Brown, who lives on site and is described in Vancouver Foundation grant documents as a “Wilp Matriarch and Hereditary Representative of the territory.”
Brown has said she had limited knowledge of dog care before starting the sanctuary, but believed that aggressive dogs could “evolve into versions of themselves that thirst again for love.”
Okay…

“Tell me the land does not heal. Tell me she is not alive. When you see me angry, it’s because I’m protecting my mother and these pure souls. Would you not protect your mother that heals you? With everything you have?” she wrote.

Let’s hope the land heals better now than it did back in the days when natives would move into an area, *strip it bare* of any usable resources, then move to another area (provided that a stronger and fiercer band didn’t come and take it from you first).
For those who won’t follow the link, this is just another attempt to stop pipelines by placing a ‘dog sanctuary’ in their path.
I believe this dog sanctuary is actually an anti-development excuse. Yes, I was right, I heard it on the radio yesterday. Here is a link

“…channeling Timothy Treadwell”
Indeed. Understanding pack mentality of aggressive dogs who already struggle with boundaries is usually a one lesson class.
But if you bury her there after school…. hmmmm.
