Take 10 minutes to watch this. If only everyone had such respect for the right of grizzly bears to exist.

This is just ridiculous.
The Nuxalk Nation says after a school field trip was attacked by a grizzly, their local MP didn’t reach out. But now he’s coming to the community - to talk to the local hunting club, a move Nuxalk’s chief councillor calls “tone deaf”

Anyone interested in being the next polar bear biologist for Nunavut? Starting at $143,000/year including northern living allowance is not shabby though cost of living is truly insano up there. There is an opportunity for some work from home.

Great article from David Stalling about the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and their ominous fall from being a true science-based conservation organization into a hunting lobby group bent on killing predators.

Not a shock. Just 12% of Canadians support trophy hunting/hunting for sport. So why then are we still allowing it?

I'm not a hunter but I'm not against hunting for food. But I'll never understand trophy hunters. Wasteful, ego stroking, shitheads.
Also, you're killing dogs you cretins.
