Wild salmon are the backbone of our coastal ecosystems and economy, but less than half of the populations on B.C.'s North Coast are being monitored. Without this spawning data, @fisheriesoceanscan cannot sustainably manage stocks. It's the Canadian government's responsibility to count these fish. If you agree, tell your candidate you're voting for wild salmon in this year's federal election (click "protect wild salmon" at the link in our bio) #SalmonCount

Experimental wolf killing continues with no end in sight and B.C. tax-payers are paying for this ecologically unsound and ethically indefensible example of predator mismanagement. On average, the B.C. government kills nearly 200 wolves per year by aerial gunning from helicopters, trapping (including the use of neck snares), and collaring “Judas” wolves. A “Judas” wolf is a cruel practice where an individual animal is collared to betray the location of other pack members. It is then kept alive for repeated persecution year-after-year so government aerial snipers can follow it to its family. A recently revealed government document has unearthed plans to expand the wolf cull, targeting 80% of wolf populations in some interior areas. Meanwhile, the government’s own data has shown habitat loss to be the greatest threat to caribou survival, not wolves. Still, hundreds of clear cut logging blocks continue to be approved by our government in caribou habitat, while wolves are scapegoated for declines.⁣

Your letters, emails, phone calls to the BC government are making a difference. The clear intent of the @johnhorgan4bc government is to carry out the largest wolf kill program in the provinces history with proposals to hunt down over 80% of interior wolf populations at a cost of 3 million public tax dollars. They had hoped to hide this from the public until a leaked govt document this week revealed the horrific plan including details of how they will be using helicopters to gun down wolves in deep snow this winter in addition to beginning a large scale cougar cull using hounds. This is moving forward without any public process or scientific basis. And worst of all clear cut logging, oil and gas development, fracking, etc will continue in critically endangered caribou habitat - the real reason caribou are threatened. If enough voices are heard this wolf kill can be stopped. Keep spreading the word, only through amplifying this issue can wolves have a voice. Send an email to: Darcy Peel, Director of B.C.
