To transfer a free BC Grizzly Bear inside the secret plan
As people continue to mourn the loss of a magnificent grizzly on an island away from the BC coast, many people leave thinking why the bear was not asked that some people were not transferred to avoid its definite fate.
In fact, despite repeated claims of the province that the bear had already moved twice and there was no good candidate for transfer, there was a secret plan to take him to a remote place. In place.
“We had a very well thought-out plan and everyone was on standby,” Eric Blanne said, Shishlah Nation’s Lands and Resources acting manager.
“He must be living his best life there.”
The plan was placed to rest when a report was investigated by the Conservation Affairs that Grijley was shot and injured, and then discovered its body. Early this week,
Some local residents were surprised to find out about the rehabilitation plan, it would be impossible to see the previous claims of the protection officers. Others feel that the bear may still be alive if they had been informed about the plan.
But Bloany Social media and misinformation that often come with it makes it impossible.
Blanyy, an MLA with Tla’amin Nation, says The plan he had created about three weeks ago Finally, with some minor changes, was approved by the province.
The details were placed in wrapped and shared with only a handful of people. Some of the residents of Texda Island – many of whom asked for weeks to move the bear – wondering why they were not aware of it.
“It is unfortunate that the community (informed) was not,” said Daniel Cammade, a resident of Texada Island.
“(If we had) I think it is very possible that the bear will still live.”
Call for transfer
The five -year -old male Grizly was first seen on the island of Texda on 25 May. The residents of Texada say that the island is a hunter-free community, and many were concerned about the appearance of many bears.
While some called for peaceful co -existence with the bear, many others wanted it to move to their safety and their own.
What should happen to the Grizzly Bear on the island of Texda? It is causing problems in the community of about 1,000 people and is divided on whether it should be killed, removed, or left alone. There is an idea in three coastal first nations.
“It seems that things were left in the hands of the community – a community that was not used to deal with the bear,” the Camid said.
BC Conservation Officer Seva repeatedly told CBC News that the bear was not a good candidate for transfer as it was already transferred twice, but also said that there was no “killer order” for the animal.
Sloded
By the end of June, Blani was planned.
Shreeshálh, Homalco and Tla’amin working with nations, he wanted to implicate the bear and in Bute Inlet, to take it to Homalco region, where it could live with other coastal grizzle and could not swim back.
Blane told CBC News, “I have now worked there for many years and this is a very difficult trek to go to the city.”
“And there is plenty of salmon run where we were going to leave them and this year a good pink salmon is expected.”

BC Conservation Officer Seva says that it is believed that a serious bear floats from Powell River to Texda Island. Texda resident Mark Robert shared the story of spotting it with guest host Rohit Joseph.
But the province did not sign that plan.
Blane said that the province told them that what they were asking was out of the current policy – and could lead to allegations under the Wildlife Act to capture and move the bear without permits.
Change of plans
Without informing the public, the province changed its mind.
Talm on the island Guest host Catherine Marlo Wednesday morning, MThe inhibitor of the water, land and resource stewardship Randen Neel confirmed that the plan was approved about two weeks ago.
“We had a meeting with the local nation there, along with the Homalco nation, as well as the Shashal Nation, who had come with a really strong, clear plan, how they wanted to translate it into a partnership with the Grizzly Beer Foundation,” Neil said, which is also for the Powell River-Sonsin Coast.
“After talking to all our experts and our team, we agreed to try this translation.”
Blane states that the nations worked with the provincial authorities to remind them that Shishlah and Talamin nations were doing self-governance, and the province had the responsibility of working with them to manage their wildlife resources.
He said, “They cannot do old ancestral land and resource management without us or without us or without us. Those decisions are really needed to be made by self-governance nations,” he said.
Keep secret
The exact plan was kept secret, Blane says, not to compromise any details.
Blanyy did not want people to obstruct rehabilitation efforts by posting about the location of the trap on social media.
The residents of Texda Island created a Facebook group to post information about the bear, including their place.
He says that due to a claim on social media, it was already delayed to receive the right net for Texada Island that the bear was shot last week.
This motivated the authorities to rebuild the trap Pemberton To move a bear in that area, Blanyy says, and Texada took days to get a net,
Blane says the trap was ready to go on Tuesday morning, the day the protection officials announced that the bear was shot. Later that morning, Grizly was found dead.
“We had six employees ready for deployment and the plan in the plan, helicopter on Standby,” he said.
It is too late.
The bear’s death is still under investigation.
