The zoo in the Aldergrove community of Langley, BC, has been closed for three days while workers and conservation officers searched for the wolves, which Langley RCMP suspect were lost when someone intentionally damaged the animals’ enclosure. The zoo’s deputy director general Menita Prasad says the facility’s perimeter fence and enclosure housing nine adult gray wolves and six cubs had been deliberately cut early Tuesday, allowing the escape. Langley RCMP are investigating what appears to be a case of trespassing and vandalism involving damage to the wolves’ enclosure. “I can just tell you that there was damage to the enclosure to allow the wolves to get out. At this point, there’s no surveillance, so we don’t have any information to indicate how they got in or suspect information,” Cpl. Holly Largey said in an interview Wednesday. Prasad told a news conference Thursday that investigators were “devastated” to find a three-year-old female wolf named Chia dead next to Route 264 in Aldergrove.

In an emotional press conference on Thursday, the zoo’s deputy director general Menita Prasad said one of the escaped wolves was found dead by the roadside, while another wolf was still missing. She says Tempest, a one-year-old female wolf, is still missing and believed to be on the zoo’s grounds. “As a result of this senseless act, our wolf pack has lost two members of our family,” Prasad said on Thursday. “We watched these wolves grow up. We consider the animals at the zoo part of our family.” Prasad says Tempest is a “shy wolf” that does not pose a threat to public safety, but that anyone who sees the animal should not approach it but should call authorities to report its location. “Tempest, that’s out there right now, they’re just trying to get home. You know, they’re not dangerous,” he said.
The search for the remaining wolf continues
Chia was listed by the zoo’s website as the oldest member of its herd. Prasad said Tempest was born last year at the zoo. He said the “search and rescue operation” will continue and is asking for the public’s help “to reunite Tempest with her family”. “She is a small wolf with gray brown puppy fur and white markings on her muzzle and forehead,” Prasad said. According to Prasad, the zoo, which is located about 55 kilometers outside of Vancouver, plans to reopen on Saturday. Anyone who sees the missing wolf is encouraged to keep a safe distance and immediately report the animal to the Report All Poachers and Pollutants (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277.
