BC torturing wolves to protect cattle on crown land
BC Provincial Government is literally torturing wolves on public land
Brad Hill, a wildlife photographer and biologist from the Columbia Valley, has discovered that the BC provincial government has placed wolf neck snares on crown land near his home. Hill has located 18 snares centered near a bait pile of road-killed elk and mule deer, designed to draw wolves into the area. Hill has learned that the neck snares targeting wolves have been placed by provincial conservation officers at the behest of a privately held ranching operation that runs cattle on this particular crown land. Hill has also posted an online petition opposing the snaring of wolves – you can sign it here.

Our new mobile lab will enable the Healthy Waters Program to deliver capacity, learning, and training to watershed-based communities. We need your support to convert the vehicle and equip it with lab instrumentation. This will allow us to deliver insight into pollutants of concern in local watersheds, and contribute to solution-oriented practices that protect and restore fish habitat.
