B.C. ends trophy grizzly bear hunting

[Catherine]

Sadly this years hunt will still go ahead, so 250 bears will die at the hands of trophy hunters. However it will be the last trophy hunting season. The Great Bear Rain Forest will be completely protected. There will be some hunting for bear meat. It is still a big step that hunters cannot fly into B.C. and kill a bear and fly it home as a prize to display.

Even with loopholes any restriction on the hunt is a victory. Any restriction on the practice of trophy hunting anywhere is a victory. The ban is coming because people no longer find such things acceptable. Let us hope that this attitude spreads.

It is especially important that they protect the Great Bear Rain Forest. It is a unique area with very unique bears.

I may never get to see a Spirit Bear, but it matters to me that they are there.
