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.
