A horrific sight along a usually picturesque walking route has one West Kelowna woman calling for change.
Diana Bertucci was walking her dog along West Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 waterfront near Gellatly Bay when she witnessed a man in an unmarked vehicle get out of his truck with a rifle, and walk into a vacant horse field.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a busy pedestrian area, so I wondered 香蕉视频直播榳hat is this guy doing?香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈 she said.
香蕉视频直播淭hen I watched him shoot geese.香蕉视频直播
It was shocking to watch geese being shot in the middle of the day, but what came next was even more alarming.
香蕉视频直播淚 saw him go up to the geese, pull off their heads and throw them in the field,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淚 said, 香蕉视频直播榳hat are you doing?香蕉视频直播 I was absolutely traumatized.香蕉视频直播
She walked up to him to find out and the man told her not to worry, he had a permit and showed it to her. They called the RCMP who confirmed that there was someone in the area who had the permit issued by Conservation BC. Another call to Conservation BC confirmed that the licence was issued.
That, however, has been of no consolation.
香蕉视频直播淚 was just gobsmacked,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淗ow is it OK for a guy with a weapon, in a high traffic area, to shoot geese and then pull off their heads?香蕉视频直播
The man told her that the reason for the destruction of the bird carcass would be a deterrent for the return of other birds, but Bertucci said the geese were back the next day anyway.
Beyond matters of technique, however, she hopes that nobody else has to witness the act in the future.
香蕉视频直播淚 said, 香蕉视频直播榙o you realize how this looks and how traumatizing it is?香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈 she said.
The cull took place at around 4 p.m. in an area where a lot of children tend to be and she thinks that should change before any more people are witness to the carnage.
香蕉视频直播淧eople walk their dogs there for a nice and peaceful experience, but to see a guy with a rifle pulling heads off geese in a field 香蕉视频直播. I do not want this to continue,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淭here has to be another way, I don香蕉视频直播檛 care how much money the property owner has, they have to consider their neighbours.香蕉视频直播
The City of West Kelowna say they香蕉视频直播檝e had only one complaint about the cull and the RCMP were unable to find any complaints, other than Bertucci香蕉视频直播檚 when contacted.
