Cette pétition prend énormément l'ampleur sur Change.org, souhaitez-vous la signer? Elle demande que soient levées les sanctions disciplinaires contre l'agent de conservation de la faune Bryce Casavant, car ses employeurs l'ont suspendu pour le seul fait d'avoir refusé de tuer deux oursons qui venaient de perdre leur mère.

Conservation Officer Bryce Casavant has been suspended without pay pending a performance investigation after he refused to put down two bear cubs this weekend.
These baby bears, a brother and sister, were orphaned after their mother had to be destroyed after she had, at least twice, broken into a freezer of salmon and deer meat inside a mobile home on Hardy Bay Road, "through no fault of the owner." “Although it is unlikely the mother was in town due to the fire, it is hard to know,” said Casavant.
On July 5, Casavant and members of the Port Hardy Fire Department literally pulled out all stops to rescue the babies who had come back to the property and were up a tree calling for their mother.
“They (firefighters) had their high-angle rescue specialist scale the tree and rappel down on top of the bears to lower them to me. I then tranquilized them by hand,” said Casavant.
The babies were estimated to be about eight weeks and weigh 20 to 25 pounds, are healthy and still nursing.
Please sign this petition to show your support to have Bryce Casavant reinstated as conservation officer to the North Island.
