Time is running out for Bears and Wolves in the BC Peace Region
Proposed policy changes that relate to hunting restrictions in British Columbia “would include removing any bag limit on wolves and tripling the number of grizzly bears killed,” says Adrian Nelson, Director of Communications for The Fur-Bearers.
The province cites ‘verbal reports’ and ‘best guess’ as the rationale for increasing limits. While alleging to control wolf and bear populations, the proposals appear to have been made without consideration for or understanding of the ecosystem as a whole.
Alongside the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, Wolf Awareness Inc. and The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals, Lush Cosmetics are lending their support to the campaign.
LUSH Cosmetics shop staff in all B.C. stores will wear our bear and wolf masks to spark conversation and encourage their customers to take action.
With only days left of the policies commenting period, which ends on January 31st, 2016 now is the time to make your voice heard.
Do you stand with the 95% of British Columbians who oppose trophy hunting?
