Bryce Casavant had been suspended without pay for refusing to kill two black bear cubs near Port Hardy after their mother was destroyed for repeatedly raiding a freezer full of meat and salmon.

Conservation officer suspended for refusing to kill bear cubs


Following public outcry, Casavant's pay was reinstated on Wednesday, but his suspension continued, said the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union, which represents conservation officers.

Despite an order to kill the cubs, Casavant took them to a veterinary hospital. The two animals are now at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in Errington, which like Port Hardy is on Vancouver Island — but it's not clear what will happen next.
