Cops raid the owner of a pack of vicious wolf-hybrid dogs wreaking havoc across ... trends now

Police have raided the creepy woodland ranch of a man who kept wild wolf-dog hybrids after the pack killed a neighbor's pet and terrorized the area.

Officers with Shasta County Sheriff's Department raided the property in Shingletown last week, recovering three dogs and seven puppies, with three still on the loose. 

The 'feral' animals - who are owned by David Celis - attacked and killed a medium sized pet dog on March 26, and struck again last week, local police said. 

Speaking to KRCR, Celis said that the pet his dogs had attacked and killed was 'no angel', as he blasted the officers who raided his home. 

He told the outlet: 'That dog they supposedly killed, he was no angel. The owner came over a couple times to get him. 

'I said you know what's gonna happen if your dog keeps coming over here and harassing these guys. They're gonna jump the fence and go get him.'

Celis added: 'I'm not negligent I didn't purposely let them out of the yard.'

Celis also hit back at the officers, saying: 'It's inhumane man, and you know, they wouldn't let me do nothing.

'They made me stand there for five hours the first day and if you move you're gonna get hand cuffed.' 

Celis claims he does all he can to keep his animals contained inside his property, but his dogs still manage to find a way to escape. 

He added: 'It's when I leave. If I go to Redding, or go do my chores and pay bills in Redding, that's when they get out. When I'm not there.'

The dog in question was three-year-old Australian-Pyrenees mix Chief, who was mauled to death by five of the dogs. 

The sheriff's office had secured warrants to enter the property after receiving 'reports of how these animals were behaving to members of the public'.

All of the dogs recovered were transported to Haven Humane Society in Anderson, where they will be kept until a hearing date.
