Our thanks to Nicole Corrado for alerting us to the study below.
We suggest that after you read it, you send a quick note to Chelsea Himsworth who is the BC Deputy Chief Veterinarian and the BC Regional Director for the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative. She is also one of the researchers involved in the study we will be posting below. You can email her at: chelsea.himsworth@gov.bc.ca
Wondering what to write? Nicole’s note was short and to the point: “I think it is awful that animals were either coneybear trapped/snap trapped, or live trapped and then killed during a COVID monitoring study. Even domestic cats were killed. Please do not support any more animal research that involves killing healthy animals.”
