In response to [“Ministers issue statement about grizzly on Texada Island,” June 13], the provincial government states that: "While the province will relocate bears if circumstances allow, in this case, it would not be in the interest of public safety to relocate the bear a third time."
Ever heard of the three strikes rule? Well the third (relocation) pitch has yet to be thrown.
These are extraordinary circumstances because this bear is receiving global attention. Killing the bear would not only be a black eye on the provincial government but also a public relations disaster. Once again, let's get on with it.
