News Coverage: B.C. Government Releases 46 Wolf Cull Images

The B.C. government has released 46 graphic wolf cull images to Pacific Wild. We are now sharing them with the public.

Below is an excerpt from the original article written by Paul Johnson and Elizabeth McSheffrey for Global BC on April 20, 2023 

After months of pressure from animal rights advocates, the B.C. government has released a limited number of photos of its controversial wolf cull program.

The batch of about 45 photos shows dead, bloodied wolves in the snow, most of which appear to have been shot in the head, chest, neck, or spine.

Animal rights lawyer Rebeka Breder said the public has an “absolute right” to see images of a program funded through tax dollars. Those released, she added, suggest the program might not be as humane as the provincial government has maintained.

More than 1,000 wolves have been shot to protect endangered caribou since 2015, but an audit of the program has never been conducted to ensure it complies with best practices and standards.
