After months of searching, a goose in Squamish, British Columbia has finally been found after being shot by an arrow.
The incident, which occurred in October, sparked a months-long search for the injured bird. The goose was first spotted by a concerned citizen who noticed the arrow protruding from its body. The arrow was believed to have been shot by a crossbow.
The search for the goose was led by the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA) and the Conservation Officer Service. Despite their efforts, the goose remained elusive and was not seen again until recently.
According to the BC SPCA, the goose was found in a residential area and was immediately taken to a wildlife rehabilitation centre for treatment. The arrow was successfully removed and the goose is expected to make a full recovery.
The BC SPCA is now appealing to the public for any information that may lead to the identification of the person responsible for shooting the goose. The organization is also reminding the public that it is illegal to harm or kill wildlife in British Columbia.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible and ethical treatment of animals. The BC SPCA is urging anyone with information to come forward and help bring justice for the injured goose.
The goose’s recovery is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the BC SPCA and the Conservation Officer Service. Their tireless efforts have resulted in a happy ending for this injured bird.
As the investigation continues, the BC SPCA is reminding the public to report any cases of animal cruelty or neglect. Together, we can ensure the safety and well-being of all animals in our community.
