Grizzly seen ‘chasing livestock' on B.C. Gulf Island
Conservation officers have been called to Texada Island after a grizzly bear was seen 'chasing livestock' Tuesday.
The agency shared the news in a social media post, saying the incident was reported in the Crescent Bay Road area.
'(Conservation officers) will conduct an investigation at the site to determine any next steps, if warranted,' the Facebook post said, adding that residents are urged to 'take precautions to avoid conflicts.'
Two weeks ago, officials with the qathet Regional District said an adult male grizzly was seen on the island, having swam over from the mainland. In a public notice people were urged to be vigilant in preventing the bear from accessing human food.
'This is critical to avoid the bear becoming habituated to local communities,' the district's notice said.
Anyone who sees the grizzly on the island is being asked to call 1-877-952-7277
