Black Bear poaching in B.C.

[Catherine]

Hunting distorts the natural order.  In nature predators kill the old, the sick and the weak. They strengthen the species that they prey on and animals that are suffering are not left to die slowly.

Hunters kill the best and the strongest and leave the weak. They cause animals to suffer and they do leave orphans.

Hunting the way we do it now distorts nature. Worse, the hunters don't even need the food.

The spring bear hunt is nasty because it targets bears that are hungry after hibernation. They are at an unfair disadvantage.
