An international wildlife protection charity says they hope the Alberta government sends a strong message as it investigates a central Alberta zoo that took one of its bears through a drive-thru for ice cream. The video, posted on social media this week by the Discovery Wildlife Park in Innisfail, Alta., showed a one-year old captive bear named Berkley leaning out a truck’s window and being hand-fed ice cream by the owner of the Innisfail Dairy Queen. It has since been removed. “It’s ridiculous, it’s entirely irresponsible,” he said. “(The province) should be looking at this and sending a message to anybody else who might be contemplating this type of activity that it’s not appropriate and make sure there are repercussions for doing this.”
