Stop Shooting Mamma Moose!

[Fancy]

The Alaskan Moose Federation claimed to have disposed of 1100 roadkill moose between September 2015 and February 2016 alone.

In BC?

An Indigenous man has been convicted of killing a cow moose near West Kelowna, outside of his traditional territory and outside of the general open hunting season.

Henry Sack, 54, was fined $1,500 on Tuesday after he pleaded guilty in Kelowna provincial court to killing a cow moose out of season near Jackpine Lake on Nov. 12, 2018.

Poaching is a huge problem and the fines not high enough. Another poacher was fined $4,000 and a 5 year hunting ban.

Stop buying !! moose all the meat would be going to non natives if that what this idiot is doing ... we need more wild life officers major its a joke how many they are for the area they patrol.. also maybe should of changed hunting regs in these areas 10 years ago ?? same regs over and over again all over bc !! how do they even count the moose ..and salmon ??? should ask the hunters !!!

I am so tired of seeing news stories regarding wildlife being poached and the headline reading, "Hunter kills animal out of season" etc. They are not Hunters, this is blatant poaching, therfore, they are poachers, why does the media ALWAYS insist on lumping poachers in with legal law abiding hunters? Is it to put a bad spin on hunting? A poacher is a poacher is a poacher. A Hunter knows the regulations and is law abiding and respectful of the regs. Also I want to note.... There is no cow moose season in BC, this was 100% intentional and this poacher knew darn well that regardless of being in his territory or not, you cannot shoot a cow moose unless you get the 1 in a million chance of the lottery draw for that animal. This is sickening to read and know this is happening. A $1500 fine is pathetic, this poacher should be stripped of ALL hunting rights for atleast 10 years, if not life with fines upwards of 10k.

Sadly, this is likely one of several that were caught. Due to lack of penalty the poaching continues.

Did he get his hunting privileges taken away? If he was a none Indigenous he would have.

Create a massive brainwashing program to get half of society to believe your special and different.
Maybe we should see a formal apology on the main media, and acknowledge that there is a problem with in the group.
You know, like what is demanded of the rest of us on a daily bases. Lets talk true colors.
Do we really think that treating peoples differently, with different laws, rules, expectations is going to work out in the long run?
This is very sick, when special treatment gets so abused, but not new, not uncommon, happening far more than we know.
