Finally some good news usually shoot first ask questions laters, I am very pleased BC Conservation now living up to their name. It’s sure about time, we are on their land yet they are the ones being destroyed. Kudos to BC Wildlife, hopefully this was a policy decision and this response will be the new norm.

What did you read that I missed ? It was not an enforcement issue, it was less bear interactions, and nuisance bears due to human ignorance. Its sad that even 303 bears met their demise due to human interference. Bears die because some humans are lazy with the curbside garbage and other attractants. I’ve never met a C.O. that enjoyed having to end the life of a “wild” animal due to getting “that” call.

Yea. Because the government admitted to spraying the back country with glyphosate and probably killed them and other animals off.
