Bryce Casavant, the B.C. conservation officer who was suspended after he refused to kill two black bear cubs near Port Hardy in July, is being transferred out of the Conservation Officer Service.

$1:

Jamie Edwardson, spokesperson for the B.C. Public Service Agency, said that after reviewing the case, "No employee involved in this case has been subjected to any discipline."

The decision that resulted was to reassign the employee to an equivalent position within government, at no loss of salary, or classification.

But that does not sit well with the union's Stehanie Smith..

"Casavant should not have been suspended, and he should not be transferred from his job as a conservation officer," Smith said, adding she can't disclose the details of his new position in order to allow the office to get on with day-to-day affairs.

Whoever is (mis)handling this case needs to be transferred out of their position.

we are not mindless process driven automatons. We have the ability to make clear and rational decisions, CO's are well trained and their judgement on putting down an animal or not should be theirs.

This is just another case of someone embarrassing a ministry in the Gov't and paying the price. He should have known that you can't embarrass anyone in the Ministry of the Environment and get away with it. Given this Gov'ts propensity for protecting their minions poor decisions he's probably lucky that he didn't wake up with a horses head in his bed.
