Governor Grants Stay for Nibi the Beaver at Wildlife Rescue
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey intervenes to allow Nibi to remain at the Newhouse Wildlife Rescue as an educational ambassador.
- Nibi, a two-year-old beaver, was at the center of a legal dispute over her release into the wild.
- Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey issued a permit for Nibi to stay at the Newhouse Wildlife Rescue.
- The decision came after a petition and public support for Nibi's continued care at the center.
- MassWildlife had initially ordered Nibi's release, citing her health and readiness for the wild.
- Newhouse Wildlife Rescue argued that Nibi, raised in captivity, was unprepared for the wild, especially with winter approaching.
