A Calgary woman is asking the province to change rules that prohibit animal conservation groups from rehabilitating ungulates after watching two moose who appear to be in deteriorating health in her neighbourhood. If the moose are experiencing an infestation, Alberta Justice said there is little it can do. But Holly Lillie, who is with the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation, said if the moose are suffering a tick infestation, it can become serious. "There's cases where … the tick infestation becomes so bad, it can be very detrimental to the animal," Lillie said. However, according to Lauzon, Alberta Fish and Wildlife was the first organization she contacted for help.
