Local boy saves bird from being stoned to death

Yarmish was also told there was another incident with a baby crow, however, that one was killed. This person had posted photos and updates with the bird carcass on social media.

CKPG reached out to Conservation Officers, they sent out this statement:

Currently, this incident is actively under investigation.
Under the BC Wildlife Act, crows are considered category C wildlife.

As per the regulations:
A person does not need a license to kill category C animals. There is no bag limit or expectation to report killing to an officer if done on their own private property or are causing damage.

However if on crown land or of a person’s private property then a person is required to have a hunting license.

For both on and off private property if a category C animal is injured then it must be killed.

However, causing wanton injury and suffering to an animal either wild or domestic is a violation under the Canadian criminal code section 445.1(1) causing unnecessary suffering.

Yarimish, is happy he and his friend were able to save the fledgling but is extremely disappointed with how the other baby crow was treated.

If anyone has any knowledge of this or similar situations please call the RAPP Line 1-877-952-7277(RAPP)
