Orphaned Wild Grizzly Cubs Need YOUR HELP NOW!
Orphaned Wild Grizzly Cubs Need YOUR HELP! And they need it NOW.
Two months ago, on April 28, 2020, a group of scientists, conservationists and business people from Canada and the US, got together in many virtual ways. They had three goals:
-
- to make sure that the three orphaned wild grizzly cubs, whose mother was killed by hunters in Alberta, were sent into a wildlife rehabilitation centre (in Smithers,B.C.) and then, eventually, be released in Alberta.
- To persuade the Alberta government to update the 2016 Alberta Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan
- To encourage the Alberta government to licence one or both of their black bear rehabilitation centres for grizzly bears.
The option for the orphaned wild grizzly cubs ? Continue their confinement in the Calgary Zoo until they could be placed in random zoos somewhere in North America for a life of misery in detention. Majestic. Orphaned. Wild. Grizzly. Cubs whose mother was killed by hunters. Relegated to zoos.
The open letter was sent from BearsMatter on May 20, 2020 on behalf of well-known signatories and to this day the ministry has not officially answered the concerns of the pro-rehabilitation signatories. Ignored. Completely. The Calgary Zoo is not even releasing photos or video updates of the three cubs. The same two photos have been circulating since the bears were secretly admitted to the Calgary Zoo at the beginning end of April or beginning of May.
We hope you feel like the 104 of us who have signed the letter to Honourable Jason Nixon, Minister of Environment and Parks RE: Open Letter: Rehabilitated grizzly cubs can boost Alberta grizzly bear recovery
Or like approximately the four hundred who have signed the letter Rehabilitated grizzly cubs can boost Alberta grizzly bear
Today we are sharing celebrating the television interview of Lisa Dahlseide, Conservation Biologist, Environmental Educator at the Cochrane Ecological Institute also working at Weaselhead Glenmore Park Preservation Society, with CTV Calgary. Lisa was well spoken when recapping the situation and the preference about rehabilitation expressed by multiple bears experts. Enjoy watching the short news clip video before you jump into action to make sure the rehabilitation is chosen as the only option.
