A zoo in Alberta, Canada took a undergo thru a Dairy Queen
pressure-thru for ice cream — and the owner is now facing costs.

In step with The Guardian,
Discovery Wildlife Park posted a video of the roam back and forth, which saw the
undergo roam back and forth in the passenger seat of a scheme conclude-up truck, on Facebook
earlier this 365 days.

The one-365 days-frail Kodiak undergo, Berkley, indisputably appeared to be
taking half in himself as he used to be hand-fed an ice cream cone, adopted
by an ice cream cake, thru the window of the truck.

The zoo confronted criticism after the video went online and
in the end took it down. Now, it’s facing costs.

The zoo acknowledged that the talk to had taken instruct sooner than the Dairy
Queen used to be open and « posed no hazard to the public, » adding that
the undergo had been secured by a chain.

said in an announcement: « Below the phrases and prerequisites of the zoo’s
enable, the costs are at as soon as connected to the alleged failure
of the park to issue the provincial authorities sooner than the undergo
leaving the zoo. »

who had simply arrived as an orphan from the US, used to be being taken
home and bottle-fed every night time — one other impress it’s now
facing.

Doug Bos, owner of Discovery Wildlife Park, plans to plead guilty
to the costs.

He told The Guardian: « We made a mistake. I’m embarrassed about
it, every time we preserve an animal off the property, we’re supposed
to issue Fish and Wildlife, send them an email, and we forgot to
manufacture that in both cases. »

if the zoo had requested permission beforehand — as it be hardly
the predominant time a undergo has been taken off the property.

« We’ve performed a total bunch TV commercials, Dapper Bowl commercials with
bears and food… a number of of them the undergo used to be in a grocery retailer
and wandered up and down the aisles, » he added, stressing that
the bears are properly-trained.

« These bears aren’t simply your average undergo that we roam snag out of
the wild and manufacture this, » he said.

cage, crate, or kennel at some stage in transport — and this would possibly perchance well have to
present extra exiguous print when soliciting for permission to preserve them off
property.
