A Vancouver city councillor wants to see a new bylaw allowing the city to ticket anyone caught feeding a wild animal.
Azi Ramezani was jogging on Stanley Park Drive near Prospect Point in late January, when one of the animals came out of the underbrush and bit her in the back of the leg.
Ramezani suffered a fall from the attack, and later learned she had detached her hamstring muscles and suffered nerve damage.
I had surgery about a month ago, after my attack. So I’m living a very immobile life … I can’t sit, can’t walk and have six months of intensive rehab ahead of me,” she said.
Ramezani, a contract teacher’s assistant, has been left out of work and collecting EI while she makes her recovery. She’s also been told she may never recover full mobility.
