Canadian wildlife park finds itself in trouble after taking a bear out for a birthday ice cream


Crappy video.
The Guardian carried the story and the vid. Also here or found in the story credit at the bottom of this post

What seemed like an innocent birthday outing for Berkley, a Kodiak bear, has landed a Canadian zoo in trouble with government
officials.

Discovery Wildlife Park officials decided to celebrate Berkley's first birthday with a trip to a nearby drive-thru Dairy Queen.
In a video posted on Facebook she could be seen leaning happily out of the car's window devouring a soft serve out of the
restaurant manager's hand.

But once the video was posted the park began to receive criticism.

An investigation by the Environment and Parks Fish and Wildlife enforcement branch then resulted in a fine.
Serena Bos, a bear trainer at the wildlife park, said the original message of the outing was intended to be about conservation.
