I am WONDERING what sort of Conservation group would support any animal related Deaths? What is Wrong with this Conservation Group “Wildsight”?
Kootenay-based conservation group Wildsight is backing a controversial wolf cull in the South Peace and South Selkirks that would kill 184 wolves.
“We certainly agree with the other conservation groups having a great distaste for a cull of wolves,” conservation director John Bergenske told The Early Edition’s Rick Cluff.
“However, we’ve run into a situation with mountain caribou in specific places.”
He said in the South Selkirks the population has dropped to only 18 caribou down from 49 animals in 2009.
Other conservation groups have criticized the cull saying loss of habitat is at the root of the caribou’s decline — and the government needs to protect land rather than kill the wolves.
