Red Deer Killer Beaver Protest
15 years ago
So I have some great news... I hope XD
With
temperance's suggestion about a week ago that I should have a protest against the unfair treatment of the beavers that they would either be relocated or killed, I have organized a protest with 
tora_the_maestro that opts for relocating rather than euthanizing. After all, it was the dog owner's responsibility to keep their dogs safe and they failed to do so. My preference is that the beavers will be left alone in their area they have made home and educate the public to be more responsible in an area teeming with wildlife but obviously if this cannot be done, then relocation is the next best choice.
Already I have made contact with two major radio stations in Red Deer (CKGY and Zed99) and two newspapers (The Calgary Herald and The Red Deer Advocate).
The Red Deer Advocate already included our names in their news story in light of the recent beaver shooting as well: http://www.albertalocalnews.com/red....._99100264.html
I will be suiting with
foxmc at the site where the dog attacks and beaver shooting occurred (Three Mile Bend) at 11 am on Saturday July 24. If anyone who reads this journal wants to join then I will be grateful if you came. If you cannot, and judging by the lack of posts on the thread I made on 
Albertafurries regarding this protest, I won't have any hard feelings if you can't make it. This will be done anyways.
Thanks!

I am going to keep watching this, best of luck and you have my support. I just wish I could come to Red Deer to help out!
And yes, I also wrote up a petition to send to the Park's Superintendent and hopefully it will change his mind. Also, it's quite alright if you can't come. I don't expect people to. Lack of posts on my AF thread proved it.
Also, oh Alberta <3 I will always view you as the southern state of Canada <3 (well, Province, but still)
