Parents Release Feral Child to Humane Society

OTTAWA - Only weeks after adopting a child raised by wolves for eight years, the Cartwright family of Nepean now reluctantly admits they have chosen to return him to the Humane Society where he was first adopted. “This decision was a difficult one for our family.” says Douglas Cartwright, “Scruffy was more than a feral child—he was a member of our family. However, unlike certain other members of our family, we can get rid of him if he gets to be a pain-in-the-ass.”

The Cartwright’s point to the spoiling of their favorite rug, the unruly child’s constant growling and public defecation as the primary reasons for abandoning him. Says Maria Cartwright, “Maybe they’ll take him back, maybe they won’t. In either case, that wretch isn’t living with us. I’ll release him back into the woods if I have to.”

The Cartwright’s have vowed to feed the feral child an elaborate steak dinner before returning him to the organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of unwanted pets.
