Stop Ski Resort Zoos

Stop Ski Resort Zoos

Bears are bears. They are innately wild by nature. The hundreds of successful rehabilitation and releases have proven that they do not need further study and training in captivity as proposed by the “Grouse Mountain Zoo” gang.
The BC government should be investing $400,000 in the existing wildlife rehabilitation facilities that have a proven track record of successful bear rehabilitation or in preventative programs to prevent human / bear conflicts (garbage containment, by law enforcement, back woods food drops and so on).
It is a dangerous plan to start a new “zoo” in a public area. This is a major zoo prison under the guise of a rehabilitation/conservation.
There is a history of animal abuses at the Grouse Mountain and their cohorts at the Kicking Horse Ski Resort Zoo. It is a history of Captivity NOT Freedom.

Please help stop this fraud and deceit. The plans for a major zoo with numerous animal prisons and hotel complex are well documented. Stop Ski Resort Zoos!

Please send your letters to Minister Barry Penner – env.minister@gov.bc.ca and Mayor and Councillors, District of North Vancouver, dnvcouncil@dnv.org and City of North Vancouver – mayor@cnv.org
