Learn about what is happening to our wolves and how you can help put a stop to it.
Government propaganda would have you believe that wolves are responsible for the decline in caribou numbers in the region and thus justify their position on the culling of wolves in Alberta, BC and beyond.
This is not new. Wolves have been blamed for the decline in caribou populations for almost 50 years. There has never been any scientific proof to justify this position.
Studies by the AWA and similar associations clearly show that the outstanding cause of decline in caribou population is human encroachment into the traditional ranges of the caribou.

This is a quote from a statement made by the CWC: Wolves have been shot from helicopters, trapped, and poisoned by the Alberta government in the Hinton and Grand Cache areas for several years now, all the while selling essential caribou habitat to industries for resource extraction and even allowing pipelines to be created in the middle of land critical for long-term survival of caribou. Wolves are once again being targeted as scapegoats. While little else is being done to protect dwindling caribou herds, several hundred wolves have already been shot from the sky over the years. |
HELP PROTECT THE WOLVES OF BC & ALBERTA! Wolves in these provinces are once again under attack. New and ongoing Wolf Culls, No Bag Limits and extended hunting seasons have been implemented in BC and AB. AB: Wolves have been culled in the Grand Cache and Hinton areas since 2006 using traps, poison, and helicopters. As of Feb. 2010, 35 wolves have been shot from a helicopter this year. BC: Pilot program to sterilize wolves begun in the Caribou region and proposal to begin attacking from helicopter as well. Already 35 wolves killed by government “for Mountain Caribou recovery”. Please write to the ministers who represent us and let them know that this is unacceptable wildlife management. |
