Stop the open season on BC Canada's Grey Wolves

Raise your voice against the year-round hunting of BC's grey wolves!!
Biologists from British Columbia's Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection are planning to systematically kill wolves at the behest of the trophy hunting lobby; this time their regressive wildlife management is focused on the 6.3-million-hectare Muskwa-Kechika park in the northern Rockies wilderness. The plan would see wolves being shot and trapped year-round, increasing the bag limit from three wolves to 10. These measures, as well as a proposal to burn 120 square kilometres a year in the area, are in addition to the sterilization last month of 13 wolves in five packs in the Muskwa-Kechika.


The two-pronged goal is to create grassland habitat while reducing natural predation of ungulates, such as Rocky Mountain elk, Stone's mountain sheep, woodland caribou and moose, all species heavily sought after by resident and foreign hunters. This is part of an experiment to increase ungulates in the Muskwa-Kechika funded in part by hunting outfitters - a move designed to generate more big-game animals for hunters.
