Why? Because by helping the bear he violated the Wildlife Act. So what happened exactly? A nice neighbour, Mike Robson, took an emaciated bear to a local wildlife centre. The bear had been outside on their neighbour&#8217;s porch for 16 hours. Frustrated by seeing that this injured bear cub received no care, or that the Mother bear did not come, Mrs. Robson called the BC Conservation Officer Services who refused to help the bear cub. The officer said to call back in another day. Additionally, the cub was the size of a dog who did not have anything to eat and endured -2 conditions. Due to his actions, Robson is now being investigated and may face serious consequences for violating the Wildlife Act.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are reasons why humans should not interfere with wildlife, which are detrimental to the well-being of animals.
