A B.C. based non-profit organization has raised the reward for information leading to the conviction of a beaver attacker.
On April 27, a beaver was spotted near the West Kelowna Yacht Club with four arrows sticking out of its body.

The beaver swam off before it could be caught, and hasn’t been located.
The Fur-Bearers, an association for the protection of fur-bearing animals, initially offered a $1,200 reward for information leading to the conviction of the culprit.
