Texda Island, British Columbia – A first nation on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia says that it is “deeply sad” by the shooting of a grizzly bear on Texda Island this week.
Tla’amin First Nation said in a statement that it was working on a coordinated rehabilitation attempt to the bear with two other region countries before the bear, surname tax, “was illegally shot, killed and killed.”
It says that he organized a ceremony on Tuesday, so that the spirit of Tax could be respected after taking custody of his remains.
The BC Conservation Officer Seva says that he received a report from the RCMP on Tuesday that someone had shot and injured the bear and later informed the bear to find him dead.
Seva said last month said that the bear was not a good candidate for transfer as it was already transported from other Sunshine coast communities and scared people and harassed livestock.
The country’s statement stated that his rehabilitation plan was already approved by the Conservation Officers and this included setting up a net to safely carry the tax on the head of the bout inlet on the mainland, about 100 km north -east in the north -east of Texa.
