I hope we can find a better location for these bear cubs than spending the rest of their days in the Calgary Zoo. |
I've told my ministry staff to work with the authorities in Alberta should it appear that we have an appropriate location for the bear cubs. I don't want bureaucratic red tape getting in the way of a good outcome for these two cubs. |
They have not done so. It's my hope and desire to recover these costs for taxpayers against the company owners. |
This whole case has been disturbing. We're reviewing procedures within the ministry about how we can monitor and regulate these companies. |
We have not made a determination about where the bears will go. My goal is to find the best and most appropriate place for these bear cubs to live out their days. |
