Re: “Wolf cull commenced,” January 21
Tamara Hynd’s article about the BC government’s wolf kill by sharpshooters in helicopters was excellent, with more detail than The Globe and Mail and other similar articles. She cited the Species at Risk Act with legal deadlines for government action.
Also very interesting: the sharpshooters offering the dead wolf carcasses to the Ktunaxa Nation and their horrified reply. I hope she will continue to follow this story. I read the 48-page government report and the “science” behind this decision is questionable — the slaughter of one species to save another was certainly not the intention behind the Species at Risk Act. Keep up the good work, Tamara.
