Manitoulin Transport Help Save The Black Bears
The saying " as Hungry as a bear " is true. Black Bears eat a lot of food especially a month or so after coming out of hibernation in the spring or before hibernating in the fall. Bear With Us , the largest bear rescue centre in Ontario, takes in injured and orphaned black bears. They go through a lot of food , especially dried dog food, often more than a skid a week. Food is one of the biggest expenses for most Wildlife Rescue Centers. Several pet food companies donate expired or damaged dry dog food; however, getting the food to Wildlife Rescue Centers across the province has been difficult and expensive. Manitoulin Transport recently delivered 6 tons (12 skids) of food to Bear with Us . In the last two years Manitoulin Transport has delivered 34 tons (69 skids) of food to help feed the black bears at Bear With Us. Manitoulin Transport’s generous support of Ontario Wildlife Rescue has made a significant difference to the number of injured and orphaned wild animals that have been saved. Manitoulin Transport has already delivered 421 skids (210 tons) of food and medical supplies to 23 Wildlife Rescue Centers across Ontario at no charge. Locations include Barrie, Cambridge, Cornwall, Huntsville, Kingston, London, Ottawa, Pembroke, Peterborough,St. Catharine, Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
