Think again!

Too quote a few words out of context does not make for a dialogue.
It is not an election year, the green party has 1 seat...if the NDP get elected then you can forget ALL grizzly hunting because they have already promised that.
This is quite simple...hunters are not in agreement with taking only the hide from such a animal, they are concerned with how that is perceived by the general public, and are distancing themselves from the (trophy hunting perception) and they are guided by their own moral culture.
As I said earlier the only hunters who are in a static over this proposed law are the guiding community, and thats why I dont understand what the big deal is.


That's exactly my point! Grizzly hunting very much IS a political issue. Keep in mind that an elephant is eaten one little bite at a time. I'm vehemently opposed to this law, and I'm not currently a guide or outfitter. I'm opposed for one reason- I don't want to see the "elephant" of hunting end up being nothing more than a pile of bones picked clean by the vultures in a couple of decades! I have no personal opportunity to hunt grizzly in BC, but I DO have the opportunity to stand up for maintaining our freedoms, and the integrity of personal choice in our country, and judgement-based decisions when out in the field. These are things that the NDP, Green Party, and many others that are opposed to hunting would take from us in a heart beat, if possible, and they are trying to do so one little bite at a time.
