More Than 60 Seagulls Rescued From Vancouver Tofu Waste Bin

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 13 Mar, 2016 12:39 PM
    VANCOUVER — Dozens of hungry seagulls have been rescued after getting trapped while trying sneak a healthy snack.
     
    Animal rescuers had to be called in Friday afternoon when 62 gulls were found in a tofu by-product waste bin behind an Vancouver factory.
     
    Laura Evans Wildlife Rescue Association says the gulls went into the bin, thinking it was a food source, but weren't able to escape because of a metal grate covering the container.
     
    She says some of the birds have injuries and are being treated.
     

    This afternoon an emergency rescue team made up of Wildlife Rescue staff and trained rescue volunteers freed 62 gulls...

    The organization says on its Facebook page that the seagulls also need to be cleaned because several of them have tofu residue on their feet and feathers.
     
    Evans says once the birds have healed, they'll be released back into the Vancouver skies. (CKNW, The Canadian Press)
