The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) is investigating allegations of cruelty at a sled dog kennel outside of Toronto, a spokesperson confirmed Monday. The allegations against Windrift Kennel, located north of Barrie, Ont., surfaced via social media after two visitors posted videos of dogs — including one with an apparent open wound on a leg — chained to outdoor posts. “We want to assure the public that the protection and care of the dogs is our top priority,” said OSPCA spokesperson Melissa Kosowan via email. Windrift Kennel, also known as Windrift Adventures, didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from the Star. It was shocking,” wrote Dylan Blake, one of the pair who posted the videos online, in a Facebook post.
