This blind baby moose needs a forever home — or may be put down
ONTARIO, CANADA, JUL 24 – Cedar cannot be released due to blindness and needs a permanent home; if denied, euthanasia is likely, Toronto Zoo says it has suitable facilities for his care.
- On July 25, 2025, Holly’s Haven Wildlife Rescue in Ottawa reports it may be forced to euthanize Cedar, a blind baby moose, if transfer to the Toronto Zoo isn’t approved.
- Earlier this month, Cedar was found wandering on a rural road and veterinarians determined Cedar is blind in one eye and has partial vision in the other, Lynne Rowe said.
- Ahead of any transfer, a full zoonotic disease scan will be conducted, Lynne Rowe said, to ensure Cedar's health and safety before moving him to the Toronto Zoo.
- With approval granted, the Toronto Zoo must complete regulatory reviews including with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
- With release off the table, the Toronto Zoo emerges as a potential long-term home, and euthanasia would be the `last choice`, Dolf DeJong said.
