WINNIPEG --
A Manitoba man was charged under the Wildlife Act after he allegedly brought a black bar cub back to his home last month.
It is prompting a black bear rescue organization in Manitoba to remind people that it is illegal and unsafe to bring the animals to your home.
According to the Manitoba government, the Conservation Tip Line received a call that a person had a black bear cub in their possession. The province said a conservation officer from the Lac du Bonnet office contacted the person with the bear to arrange retrieval, but the man allegedly did not show up or respond to several attempts to contact him during the evening and the following morning.
