This is a little something I’ve been working on in my spare time. I am trying to get 1000 people to like the above page and then I will send the page to the Canadian environment minister, Peter Kent.
The government is planning a mass slaughter of thousands of Alberta and British Columbian wolves. They say it is to help repopulate the dwindling caribou herds. But this decision is short sighted and wrong. Scientific research points to human encroachment on caribou territory as the main threat to caribou survival. Projects like the Alberta oil sands contribute greatly to caribou decline. It is a horrible case of wildlife being blamed for human destruction. Canadian wolves were hunted to near extinction in the 1950’s. Their populations have only just rebounded. To mass slaughter wolves again will lead us down a very dangerous path. The ecological balance will be drastically altered and our wolves are at risk of a mass decline not to mention so many other species that will be affected by this mass slaughter.
Please help support my project: you can link onto the facebook page and like it (if you’re a member of facebook) on the left sidebar of my blog. Thousands of wolves lives depend on us stopping this mass slaughter.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
