Local couple has stark warning after dog killed by trap
KAMLOOPS — Jennifer Fraser hopes her dog Kuma didn’t die in vain.
The 2-year-old purebred Akita was killed on Nov. 14 after being caught in a conibear trap that was placed 11 metres off Darlington Forest Service Road north of Barriere.
“This is devastating for our family and devastating to my husband who was there,” she said.
Fraser’s husband Burke Nesjan works in the area as a forester. On his way to work that day, 29 kilometres up the forest service road, he let Kuma out for a quick pee break. Kuma didn’t come back immediately.
