We need to Pay attention to things like this…. Now A Fire chief is wanting to kill wolves…
The deputy fire chief in Prince Rupert wants the city to change a bylaw that would allow him to shoot wolves with his bow and arrow.
RCMP issued a warning about wolves being seen in residential areas and School District 52 is telling children to make sure they go home directly after school, stay away from the woods, and walk in pairs if possible.
“I certainly have friends who have had pets literally shredded in front of them six feet away by wolves,” Jeff Beckwith told Daybreak North’s Carolina de Ryk.
Beckwith is an avid bow hunter, but hunting with a bow and arrow is currently banned by the City of Prince Rupert. He wants the city to change that bylaw, allowing hunters to target both wolves, as well as deer — which he said attract hungry wolves to the city.
“[Bow hunting] is a method that’s used in the province for areas where you have a buffer zone between the urban population and the rural wilderness,” he said.
