Man in Sim Park was cutting dogs’ hair, not skinning them, WPD says

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The Wichita Police Department said they haven’t found any evidence to support animal abuse allegations in Riverside after the community raised concerns from a video posted online.

A news release from WPD said on April 20, officers were following up on the report of alleged animal abuse at Sim Park. While there, they identified the individual who was videoed.

WPD said the individual was “extremely cooperative” and explained to officers that he used that location to trim his dogs’ hair.

WPD said officers were able to confirm that no dogs or animals were harmed at any time and have physically checked the individual’s animals to confirm their health and haircut.

“At this time, we have not found any evidence to support the allegation that this individual was skinning dogs or harming them in any way at any time,” WPD said in a release.
