Support grows for officer suspended for refusing to kill orphaned bear cubs
Thousands of supporters are calling for the reinstatement of British Columbia conservation officer Brian Casavant, who remains suspended for refusing to destroy two black bear cubs Sunday after their mother was killed for repeatedly breaking into a Vancouver Island resident’s freezer for meat.An online petition in support of Bryan Casavant was close Thursday to achieving its goal of 75,000 signatures, which would be sent to B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak. Perhaps as a result of the pressure, Casavant’s pay has since been reinstated, while an investigation into the matter continues.
