Guha fined for wild animals

An Utterson area man has been found guilty of keeping wildlife in captivity.

Viveka Nanda Guha – owner of Guha’s Lion’s and Tigers, just north of Bracebridge – pleaded guilty to keeping two wild turkeys and two wolves without authorization under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. He was fined $2,000, given a one-year probation and ordered to repay $500 to the Ministry of Natural Resources to partially cover the cost of caring for the seized animals.
Court heard that the ministry entered Guha’s Lions and Tigers in Utterson with a search warrant on Sept. 19, 2007, and removed a number of live game wildlife.
