Louka Berman is facing criminal charges in Montreal after rescuing a seven‑month‑old raccoon that had been wounded by a crossbow bolt and nursing it back to health.
The incident took place at a construction site in May 2026.
Quebec wildlife regulations forbid taking or possessing wild animals without a permit, which forms the basis of the charges against Berman.
