The company in charge of the northern Alberta work camp where four bears were shot and killed on Friday says changes are on the way to repel wildlife.
A spokesperson for Devon Canada tells The Calgary Sun they’ll consider electrified fences to minimize human-bear interaction, although she says you can’t always prepare for wildlife encounters.
Workers who filmed a wildlife officer killing a black bear and her cubs blame the company for not doing more to keep bruins from entering the camp.
