Two people have been fined in connection with the killing of a grizzly bear on British Columbia’s Texada Island in July. The bear, nicknamed Tex, had been living on the island for more than a month when it was found dead in the Van Anda area.

In a post on social media, the Conservation Officer Service said Texada Island residents Kody Bevan and Seneca Antony pleaded guilty and were sentenced in Powell River provincial court on Thursday for failing to promptly report the wounding or killing of a grizzly bear, a violation under section 75(2) of the Wildlife Act (WLA).

Bevan and Antony received a combined penalty of $6,000, with $2,000 from each fine directed to the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation. Kylie Stanton has more.
