    "Egomaniacal". Big word. Wrong context, however. I agree that the planet is overpopulated. No argument there. Perhaps you should get spayed or neutered to make sure you do your part in human population control, depending on your gender. Or come up with a solid plan to combat the religions that preach and enforce human proliferation. Or just become Thanos. But until you accomplish your task, humans are here to stay. We need fewer humans with smaller individual footprints.Whining about proper wildlife management accomplishes absolutely zero. Wolves need to be controlled. Have a nice day

    I don't know who anointed you "Canada's Senior Wolf Biologists", but it wasn't anybody I know. "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex" might be available soon, try that one out. 🤔 Valerius Geist in Canada and Charles Kay in the States are the two voices I most trust. Your article shows an emotional response meant to please the abolitionists, not a scientific one, meant to protect ALL game species. The basic fact of the matter is that there are more wolves in B.C. now than at any other time in history. Full stop. Wolf control is necessary, and is regulated by the Province of British Columbia through hunting regulations. Those limits imposed by the province have gotten more liberal over time because wolves are prolific breeders, and an estimated 70% of populations would have to be culled to control the numbers. That's virtually impossible, because so few people hunt them. I'll say it again: All ungulates and predators in B.C. are strictly controlled by the Province through Hunting Regulations, and have been for many, many years. Licenses and tags are purchased and the money used to support further research. The Habitat Conservation Trust Fund benefits greatly from the proceeds from these purchases, and the wildlife then benefits from these studies, and habitat reclamation provided BY HUNTERS, and by the countless hours of volunteer time provided by outdoorsmen and women in the field. No hunters, no money, no research, no volunteers. All gone. Unfortunately, after most hunters fill their legal tags, (or not, due in large part to predation on ungulates), they put away their rifles, bows, and muzzle loaders for the season. Wolf control is difficult, expensive, and time consuming. More of British Columbia's hunters need to get out and help control them during winter months, when the fur is prime, and before spring time, and yet again, more wolves. I encourage all hunters to take the time to buddy up, and get out there and help control wolf populations. They are NOT "endangered" in any way, shape or form. Quite the opposite, in fact, and it's up to the people of B.C. to ensure our future hunting right to harvest wild game by controlling these prolific breeders, and, quite often, surplus killers, before it's so imperiled that we won't be allowed to feed ourselves and our families with organic, free range, healthy meat, as is our right. Save an endangered Mountain Caribou or three. Save a Moose calf or ten. Save a Mule Deer or twenty. Get out there and learn to hunt wolves, coyotes, and other predators. And good luck in the hunt, our Canadian right, our privilege, and our heritage.
