I know the subject has come up before and this is not the first wolf cull in B.C.
Sadly they are going ahead with the killing.
The theory is that this will save the endangered caribou. The real reason the caribou are declining is habitat loss. Killing wolves won't change that.

The people making the decisions do not seem to understand the complexities of ecosystems. The should take a look at the wolves in Yellowstone national park and see how the presence of a major predator seems to improve the populations of other animals.
Killing so many healthy wolves will probably destabilize the whole ecology of the area. Who knows what the negative impact will be. It may well bring about the further decline of the caribou.
All that aside, it is just wrong to kill so many beautiful wolves.
