US EditionAuthorities Investigating After Large Boa Constrictor Captured in B.C. Park
- Conservation officers captured a 1.5-metre boa constrictor on June 27 near Comox in Miracle Beach Provincial Park, leading to temporary trail closures.
- The capture followed public reports of a large snake on the loose, and authorities are investigating if the animal was intentionally abandoned under animal cruelty laws.
- The five-foot boa constrictor was classified under regulations that prohibit its release into the environment and is currently being cared for by the Comox Valley SPCA.
- Sara Dubois of the B.C. SPCA emphasized that boa constrictors do not belong in Canada's natural environment and highlighted that their complex care requirements are difficult for most people to meet.
- This incident is unrelated to a similar recent sighting in Tofino, and the Conservation Officer Service emphasized their ongoing work handling exotic animals to prevent harm to local ecosystems.
