High Prairie, Alta. — The shooting of a grizzly bear preying on cattle in the Peace Region has re-ignited the debate over how far ranchers can go to protect themselves and their livestock.
Leroy Scott Peats, with the Whitemud Provincial Grazing Reserve near Dixonville, Alta., has been charged for allegedly shooting a female grizzly and two cubs on that land in late August, according to Brendan Cox, spokesperson with the Alberta Fish and Wildlife enforcement branch.
