Kangaroo Captured After Days on the Loose Near Montreal
Officials said specialized teams tranquilized the red kangaroo and moved it to a nearby zoo after several days of sightings.
- On Tuesday evening, Quebec authorities captured the red kangaroo that had been roaming Boucherville since Friday, with the animal now in professional care for health assessment.
- The Ministry stated the kangaroo was being kept illegally in facilities that did not comply with Quebec regulations, which require permits for exotic species like kangaroos.
- Specialized Teams composed of zoological veterinarians and wildlife protection officers carried out the delicate tranquilization and transport; the animal is now headed to Granby Zoo.
- Galahad SPCA criticized the Ministry's slow response, arguing the incident exposes broader issues regarding illegal trafficking of exotic animals throughout Canada.
- Montreal SPCA officials are calling for stricter enforcement of captivity standards, arguing current rules fail to protect the complex physical and social needs of wild animals.
