Killing wolves wrong

Re: Hundreds of wolves killed to save caribou. I was very fortunate to see a herd of caribou while backpacking the Brazeau Loop several years ago. Our group was close enough to hear the clicking of their hind legs. We were awed as we watched them move up the slope and out of sight. I will never forget it. I am sad that they are in decline and I will likely never see them again in this area, however, the writing has long been on the wall and we wrote it.

Re: Hundreds of wolves killed to save caribou

I was very fortunate to see a herd of caribou while backpacking the Brazeau Loop several years ago.

Our group was close enough to hear the clicking of their hind legs. We were awed as we watched them move up the slope and out of sight. I will never forget it. I am sad that they are in decline and I will likely never see them again in this area, however, the writing has long been on the wall and we wrote it.

We must take responsibility for their decline and accept their disappearance here. Killing wolves to attempt to rectify what we have done is just plain wrong. It must stop.
