What does a citizen-led wolf cull in British Columbia look like?

It looks just like what the states of Idaho and Wyoming are trying to get Established.

 

Look Folks, We have to Join as 1 Voice in order to be effective.
Our Research, Our Path is different from what any other Org has tried to date. Why is that?
Because for one thing you cant continue to use the same approach year in and year out, then expect different results to simplify it.
For a second reason we as a group all share the same love for our wildlife! So what are we waiting for? Lets get Our Attorney firm into the courts and begin to create positive change 😉 .

Trapping, snaring and shooting-on-sight of British Columbia’s wolves has been escalated this year by a citizen campaign asking for donations to trappers to eradicate wolves across the province, in order to “grow” ungulate populations. Calling themselves BC Ungulate Foundation, they claim to have fifty members, according to their “spokesman” Steve Isdahl. There are organizations in Idaho that have done this very same thing.

He is raising funds for what he calls ‘wolf assassins’, or ‘problem solvers,’ to pay for traps, gas and equipment. It began with a GoFundMe campaign, which was swiftly shut down after complaints, but he and others now claim to be receiving funds privately. The core idea is that hunters need to support trappers to dramatically increase wolf kills, using leghold traps and snares. He enthuses that this is the perfect antidote to laws, regulations, quotas, bans and politics.

Since the post by Victoria Animal News on February 13, 2018 called “A One-Man Bounty on BC Wolves,” graphic posts on the BC Ungulate Foundation’s Facebook page have been removed.

A warning about the following graphic images and quotes: they depict unimaginable suffering, but they speak for themselves about the reality of an unscientific, unregulated citizen cull using snares and leghold traps. Note that some of the screen captures are also from a previous attempt at a wolf cull in 2009. Those engaged in the current 2018 wolf kill campaign have been reticent to post their gleeful photos this year since they have realized that the public has noticed their online activity.
In the words of “Twowolves”: “I think that the public and hunters are naive about the facts when it comes to trapping.”

Now we know. British Columbians cannot leave the management of BC predators to those with an appetite for killing the animals that they want, as well as the animals they don’t want.

Why should American Citizens be any different? We need to act and act swiflty before our wildlife are wiped out by Hunters and trappers that have somehow brainwashed themselves into thinking that they are Conservationists.
