great news from the provincial government this week, the grizzly bear hunt is not going ahead this season & not for the next two either
the "sportsmen" will have to find something else to kill, because the bears are now protected & hopefully in 3 years time they will become permanently listed as a threatened species
i just cannot see the sense or the pleasure in shooting such an intelligent creature & with numbers in the protected zone estimated to be as low as 53 (previous guesses had put the number closer to 700!), allowing the slaughter of these animals for "fun" would be crazy
so for the bears, waking up soon, it's a safer world in some ways this year - that's not to say there won't be unfortunate bear/human encounters this year, and thats why the Bearsmart program being introduced is such a good thing
it's refreshing for once to see a decision come out in favour of the environment & it's wildlife
