British Columbia’s Conservation Officer Service says an investigation is underway to find the person who illegally shot and killed a female black bear near Williams Lake, leaving behind five cubs.Conservation officers say the incident took place between May 24 and 25 near the community of Big Lake, northeast of Williams Lake.

The agency says it received the report on May 26 after a passing motorist saw a black bear carcass and cubs.

The cubs are in the process of being captured for rehabilitation at Northern Lights Wildlife Society in Smithers, B.C.

A statement says two of the five cubs have been safely captured by Northern Lights staff as of Friday at noon.

Under the Wildlife Act, it is illegal to shoot a sow with cubs, or any black bear younger than two years old.

Conservation officer Jeremy Pauls says in the statement that this is an unfortunate situation, and it’s not every day that a black bear is seen successfully raising five cubs at the same time.

Paul says the conversation officers are investigating and are asking for the public’s help to advance the investigation.

Wildlife in catastrophic decline

The 73% decline in vertebrate wildlife populations during the last 50 years (mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish), is primarily driven by human activities that threaten biodiversity.

Habitat Loss and Degradation – human activities like deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture have led to the destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats, reducing the space and resources available for wildlife.

Pollution – air, water, and soil pollution from industrial activities, agriculture, and other sources can harm wildlife directly or indirectly by affecting their habitats and food sources.

Climate Change – changing weather patterns, rising temperatures, and sea levels are disrupting ecosystems and impacting species’ ability to adapt and survive.

Overexploitation of Resources – unsustainable hunting, fishing, and logging practices can lead to the depletion of populations and the loss of biodiversity.

Invasive Species – the introduction of non-native species can disrupt ecosystems, compete with native species, and threaten their survival.

Help to protect wildlife by donating as little as $5. Our conservation partners spend at least 80 percent of the money raised on actual fieldwork rather than administration and fundraising.
