A BC RCMP detachment has lived up to its motto of “Whatever the call, we take them all” after an officer rescued an injured bald eagle.
On June 30, Mounties in Logan Lake were called to help with the distressed bird near Mammette Lake Road and Foley Road.
When the officer – Cst Dell – arrived, the majestic creature was either unable or unwilling to leave the area.
So he borrowed a dog crate from a cell guard and, with the help of another officer, captured the bird.
It was then taken to the cells and cared for overnight before being transferred to the BC Wildlife Park Rehabilitation centre in Kamloops.
“As a Mountie, you wear many hats, some days you are a career counsellor or a conflict mediator, other days a traffic enforcer or a homicide investigator, some days you are an animal wrangler,” Cst Dell said.
“Whatever the call, we take them all!”
