Zoo St-Édouard (Closed) Zoo St-Édouard News

The raid was featured on CBC's The National

On a side note, i'm kind of mixed on the animals being sent to sanctuaries across Canada. Surely there a few CAZA-accredited zoo which could use them and give far better care then a sanctuary?

Two other news. One is that the Granby Zoo is looking to take in some of the animals:

The other, more importantly, is that some of the community are rallying to support the former owner and keep the zoo open. I don't know enough about the zoo to comment any further.

It be interesting to know what "drives" these people. Someone should look into it more in depth!

I do believe that quite often authorities do mishandle animal cruelty cases, overlook the majority of more serious offences when economic interests are at play and go for the easy cases for PR media. This driven by the pressure Groups looking over their shoulders and then to be Seen to be doing something!

However, it does seem pretty clear here

There's are population explosion among the animals in SPCA's custody, who'd like to sterilise many of them as a result. On the other hand, some have died, like a lion.

It underlines that animal welfare organisations do lack the expertise and resource facilities to deal with wild and exotic zoo animal rescuees!

I find their talk of sterilisation particularly poignant! A failure in duty of care IMO.
