There is a very sad story unfolding in Lillooet BC. One week ago a mother bear got shot and killed in front of her 3 cubs. She was thrown in the river, the cubs scampered in a tree close by. Northern Light Wildlife Centre has been contacted by the person who witnessed this all, since she knows they are able to rescue (trap, tranquilize ) cubs by them self. They have all the necessary permits to do so and also the equipment. This has also been reported to the COS, but as we all know they are hopeless understaffed and have way to big areas to cover. In order to rescue the cubs Northern Light had to get approval from the Ministryof Environment, but they have denied the permit and said the cubs had to go to Critter Care in Langley, just because it is closer by. I do not want with this to make Critter Care look bad in any way, but they are not able to rescue (trap or tranquilize) animals them self, so the cubs are left to die out there, since there is nobody there to catch them and the ones who can, are not allowed : How crazy is this. One of the 3 cubs has been shot in the mean time and time is probably running short for the other 2, if not somebody by the Minisrty smartens up and overturns their decision to have Northern Light from Smithers come and rescue the cubs. We have contacted MLAs and TV, but have not had to much success with reaching anybody yet. I was advised to put this story on my FB page and asks anybody to share it and put it on Twitter if possible. I do not use Twitter Please anybody help spread this sad story, maybe somebody is listening. Please share, thank you
