British Columbia Canada Premier Christy Clark
After recently fending off criticism of British Columbia’s controversial wolf cull, Premier Christy Clark is now defending the fall grizzly bear hunt, too.
“We aren’t contemplating any changes at the moment to the way we approach that,” Ms. Clark told reporters on Wednesday, when asked about the bear hunt.
“We have a record number of grizzly bears in the province, a huge and growing population, and the hunt is scientifically managed.”
She said B.C. – which this year issued more than 3,000 bear-hunting licences – does a better job of managing grizzly bears “than anywhere else in North America and we are going to keep doing that.”
Ms. Clark argued recently, in responding to criticism of the wolf cull by pop sensation Miley Cyrus and actress Pamela Anderson, that the province’s wildlife policies are based on sound science.
