B.C. wants to extend the wolf cull for five more years. We’re saying no.
For over a decade, the BC government has been shooting wolves from helicopters, claiming it protects caribou. The result has been devastating for wolves, while the underlying threats to caribou survival remain unaddressed.
More than 2,800 wolves have already been killed since 2015 — at a cost of over $13 million taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile, the roads, mines, and clearcuts continue to destroy caribou habitat. The science is clear: habitat loss is killing caribou, not wolves. The wolf cull is unethical, unsustainable, and relies on selective science.
We are at a critical moment: right now the government is proposing to extend the wolf cull for five more years.
B.C.’s Caribou Recovery Program asked stakeholders for feedback, but offered no public engagement period.
On June 15, Pacific Wild submitted our feedback, including more than 1,800 supporter submissions. Even though there is still no formal public engagement process, that doesn’t mean your voice can’t be heard.
You can use our online tools to write directly to the Premier of British Columbia and his Ministers to tell them what you think and call for stronger caribou protection. Your email will be sent too:
Premier of British Columbia, Honourable David Eby, premier@gov.bc.ca
Honourable Randene Neill, Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship, WLRS.Minister@gov.bc.ca
Honourable Minister of Forests, Ravi Parmar, FOR.Minister@gov.bc.ca
