What a messed-up incident! Fortunately the cubs have been saved and there is hope for them. It's good that they are healthy but they must miss their mother.
Why did anyone have to kill the mother?? Her only crime (as far as has been reported) -stealing salmon from a freezer. I agree with you LPC...if the access door to that place where the freezer is kept had been shut or bolted, she wouldn't have been able to get in. Humans' fault -and the bear had to pay with her life because she smelled Salmon!
Why couldn't all three of them have been darted and re-located? Surely that's what "Conservation" is about? Not shooting a mother bear dead.
The officer is a good man for taking good care of those cubs. He should be re-instated. Although, if I were him, I wouldn't necessarily want to work for a company with those policies!
LPC....where is the petition? I missed the link.
NEWS....I just found this!
