The suspected sabotage led to a shocking incident of wolves escaping from a zoo in Canada. A hole was intentionally cut in the fence, allowing a small number of wolves to roam free in the city. The Greater Vancouver Zoo, which initially shut down after the escape, has since managed to safely contain most of the wolves back in their care. However, the manner of the escape raised suspicion of malicious intent.
The enclosure, which typically houses 15 wolves and six cubs, was breached through a deliberate hole in the fence. Authorities are currently investigating the unlawful entry and vandalism that facilitated the escape. Despite assurances from the zoo that the wolves do not pose a threat to the public, the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service has advised people to maintain a safe distance if they encounter the wolves.
The zoo is collaborating with the Langley RCMP and the B.C Conservation Officer Service in an ongoing effort to secure the remaining wolves. The zoo officials have emphasized that there is no danger to the public, and have urged anyone who spots a wolf in the Greater Vancouver Zoo area to promptly contact the relevant authorities.
