Bryce Casavant was fired in 2015 after answering a call from residents of a mobile home park near Port Hardy, British Columbia.

They informed him that there was a bear when it rumbled around the refrigerators that were full of meat and salmon. He shot the bear according to the province’s policy, which indicates that a bear can be killed if it is addicted to human flesh.


Casavant refused to kill the bear’s cubs and instead decided to take them to a veterinarian who evaluated them and transferred them to the North Island Recovery Center.

They were later released into the wild.

After that, a lawsuit was filed against him by his supervisor. Casavant was suspended pending an investigation before he was completely released.


Unhappy, the former Conservation Officer fought for justice in court, but some time ago the British Court of Appeals in Colombia ruled in his favor.

Speaking to the Guardian, Cassavant said the moment was full of bitterness for him and he did not expect to be fired in the first place, so he decided to fight to the end to clear his name.

He has long advocated for public service, honor, and integrity. He considers himself well-mannered and proud to have raised his daughter in the same way. He felt that he was being targeted.

Since his dismissal, Cassavant has been critical of the British Columbia Conservation Officer’s practice. He – along with many others – believes that bears are killed too easily.


After completing the court proceedings where Cassavant responded honestly and faced justice, he won the legal battle for his dismissal.
