B.C.'s grizzly bear trophy hunt in the spotlight
1 of 7 2 of 7
"According to polls, almost 90 per cent of B.C. residents oppose hunting grizzlies for trophies, including many First Nations and food hunters. Scientists say it’s unsustainable. The Coastal First Nations coalition has banned grizzly hunting in its territories, but the government doesn’t recognize the ban." - David Suzuki

maybe it's time to start shaming Christy Clark on Social Media the way Cecil the Lion's killer was, that may get her to recognize a ban on trophy hunting.

I agree with stopping the hunt until an extensive ( and expensive!) inventory of bears has been done in any region contemplating a hunt.
There may be good reasons to hunt a small number of the big bears due to human / bear conflict or the result of management practices for maximum phase bear population.
