INHUMANE SLAUGHTER OF WOLVES
Obviuosly they are just Scapegoats in Our Opinion here at Friends of The WOLF. People need to Take action to get this mass slaughter stopped! The Longer you delay, The More wolves will be Killed senselessly!
John Bergenske and Ian McAllister are two conservationists who care deeply about British Columbia’s threatened wildlife.
But when it comes to the government’s decision to shoot up to 184 wolves from helicopters to save endangered caribou herds, they find themselves at odds.
“Killing one species to save another simply doesn’t work,” said McAllister, a renowned wildlife photographer who started an online petition to stop the government’s wolf cull.
“It’s sickening to think our tax dollars are going to pay for this. It’s horrific for the wolves.”
Bergenske is sickened by it, too. He’s a devout vegetarian who hates the thought of any animal being killed by humans.
But he has also studied B.C.’s threatened woodland caribou for more than 20 years. He says southern interior wolf populations are expanding, and they’re feeding on caribou herds teetering on the brink of extinction.
“I go to bed every night and wake up every morning thinking about those wolves — it’s extremely sad,” Bergenske said.
