Welcome to Pacific Wild
The countdown to the opening of the Spring bear hunt has begun.
Pacific Wild and international networkcontinue with ad campaign on the sport hunt of bears in the Great Bear Rainforest.In a few weeks, grizzly and black bears will wake up to the sound of guns.By mistaken identity, some of the bears that are killed will be mothers with cubs. Without a mother to protect them, these orphaned cubs will die too. That’s a grisly fact of life in this deadly sport. The fabled Spirit bear featured so prominently in the Olympic opening ceremony will be at risk too because the gene that turns it white is present in many black bears—bears the provincial government says it’s okay to kill. There is a solution, but we need your help. Ask the B.C. government to end the trophy hunt of bears in the Great Bear Rainforest. Add your name to the nearly 80 % of British Columbians who oppose this hunt and be joined by more than 20 million people from 40 countries represented by the organizations featured below. As well, you will be supporting a growing wildlife viewing industry that believes a living bear is worth far more than a dead one. But most importantly, by calling for an end to trophy hunting, you will respect the wishes of First Nations along the coast. Pacific Wild and Valhalla Wilderness Society recently released the following map showing that 98 % of Spirit bear genetic range is at risk from trophy hunting. |
