note: I? 1 MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO COME Game farm passes gov't, inspection ALDERGROVE - According to government officials (Ministry of Environment; Lands and Parks; Fish and Wildlife ) who investigated tlie Vancouver Game Farm after allegations of animal abuse were made, tlie animals at the farm are properly cared for. There were recommendations made by tlie ministry, however, and in a press release from the game farm, spokesperson Peter Jones has stated diat they will immediately implement the recommendations which deal with fence repairs, upgrading of en closures and improved record keeping. A report in tlie Vancouver Sun last month led to the investigation of tlie farm and its care of animals. There were claims made that fawns and bear cubs were being routinely killed to control population sizes. •Curator Don Adams has now admitted that he made a mistake, in saying that fallow fawns were being killed, and that he misunderstood the reporter's questions. Jones has said that the animals are treated humanely and there are plans under way to build sev eral new barns and habitats, make renovations to the animal clinic and build various new public facilities. He also said that the farm's new owners have spent over $2.5-million in repairs since they bought it three years ago and will spend a similar amount over the next diree years. Improvements made over the last tliree years include extensive new fencing, a new automatic drinking water supply system, expanded food storage and freezer capacity as well as some new barns and shelters.
