Bear's Dairy Queen ice cream treat earns zoo $500 fine
A central Alberta zoo must pay $500 in fines after taking a bear for ice cream at a drive-thru.
A video posted on social media in January by 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 local Dairy Queen.
Officials with the province investigated and charged the zoo with two counts of violating a licence or permit under the Wildlife Act.
