Nothing like full transparency for the safety of the community.
Yeah, you noticed that, did you?
Finally, they've admitted that "at least one" wolf managed to escape zoo grounds. There's a good chance s/he'll head back to where the food is, but it could certainly be confusing for a zoo-raised wolf to suddenly find themself in a human neighborhood, in traffic, yada. I hope they find it soon.
The Greater Vancouver Zoo remained closed Wednesday, a day after several wolves were found outside their enclosure in what appeared to be an act of “malicious intent.”
... The zoo later released a statement saying it is working with Langley RCMP and the B.C. Conservation Officer Service to bring the wolves back to safety, noting the incident was “suspicious.” ...
Notice that they leave it vague as to whether they mean evil people or smart, evil wolves.
Wild wolf attacks on humans are very rare, approaching historically nonexistent. Idk what the numbers are for caged or escaped caged wolves. Regardless, this claim seems unsustainable:
... Zoo officials said there is no danger to the public and asked anyone who sees a wolf in the Greater Vancouver Zoo area to contact the number below....
I would probably keep children indoors despite the assurances. Otoh, I applaud the zoo's civic service in helping to control the feral and outdoor cat problem.
