B.C. mulls return of grizzly hunting in controversial report​

B.C. is considering a plan to reinstate grizzly hunting seven years after public outcry pushed the province to ban the controversial sport.

Grizzly hunting was banned in 2017 following intense opposition from conservation groups. The new report takes aim at that decision, stating the ban was not made for conservation purposes but instead reflected “many British Columbians’ ethical or moral opposition towards grizzly bear hunting.”

B.C. has one of the highest concentrations of grizzlies across North America, with an estimated population of 15,000.

B.C. mulls return of grizzly hunting in controversial report

The recommendation was recently floated in a first draft of the province’s Grizzly Bear Stewardship Framework, a report providing policy recommendations for the future of grizzly conservation. It summarizes existing data and highlights the present and future risks to the species’ population.

completed. I hope they open it again. I don't need another bear but there is no sound reason not to have a science-based hunt for folks that are interested.
