Conservation group says Alberta grizzly, Bear 148, shot dead in BC - CTV News

Parks Canada said in an email. Bear 148 was moved in July from its range near Banff and Canmore, Alta., to Kakwa Wildland Park. The bear never hurt anyone but had gotten too close to people dozens of times since it was born in the Banff National Park area six years ago. Over the summer the grizzly strayed onto a rugby field during a practice, charged a person walking with a stroller and chased dogs out for a walk with their owners. Murray Langdon, spokesman for Alberta's Environment and Parks, said staff did what they could to help the bear survive but had to move it to protect public safety. "Our top priority is to keep Albertans safe and out of harm's way," he said in an email. "Environment and Parks staff members worked hard to provide the best chance of this bear's survival given its history." Legault said the relocation of Bear 148 and its death near McBride, B.C., shows how difficult it is to protect grizzlies even in wilderness areas. "The situation reflects the need to conserve grizzly bears on a larger landscape scale, beyond park boundaries," he said. Legault said more needs to be done to limit development and growth in popular areas such as Canmore.Let's block ads! (Why?)...

"We want to fight for our freedoms and our rights. We want fair government.""We are watching Justin Trudeau slowly strip away every right we had," Sarah Zaldinger, of Timmins, said as about two dozen supporters waited for the convoy to arrive, sharing updates on when the parade would roll into town."He is stripping the future of my children and their children and their children," Zaldinger said. "They are being set up for failure. Their rights, their future, will all be destroyed if we don't stand up now."Although she was not part of the convoy to North Bay, Zaldinger was going to join it Tuesday morning for the rally in Ottawa as part of her own objective of "direct democracy."And direct democracy is possible, she said.Zaldinger pointed to a recent Amber Alert sent to cellphone users across the province ...
