A Thunder Bay man has been fined a thousand dollars for
keeping a lynx as a pet. The Ministry of Natural
Resources says 27 year old Justin Storm contacted their
Thunder Bay office and asked it it was legal to keep a
lynx in captivity.
Storm was told it was illegal under both the Fish and
Wildlife Consrevation Act and the City of Thunder Bay by-
laws.
Conservation officers seized, spayed and declawed the
female lynx. The animal cannot be returned to the wild,
she will now enjoy a home in a Wisconsin wildlife facility.
