Boaters fined $2,500 for harassing moose in Ontario
DRYDEN, Ont. - Two boaters have been fined a total of $2,500 for harassing a cow moose swimming in a northwestern Ontario lake.
Andrew Weiers of Dryden, Ont., and Matthew Weiers of Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., both pleaded guilty to the offence in Ontario Court of Justice and the boat, owned and operated by Andrew Weiers, has been seized.
Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources says it received complaints about boaters harassing a swimming moose in Eagle Lake in Dryden on July 29.
