Alberta has persisted in its wolf cull program. That is bad enough. What makes it so much worse is the use of Strychnine to poison the wolves. It takes days for the animal to die, it is a horrible death and other animal species are being killed by mistake. Some of the other animals are on the endangered list.

No one should be using strychnine anymore. It is a dangerous and cruel poison that can kill anything that encounters it. There is no control over what happens once the poison is "out there". It is irresponsible and cruel to do this.
It is also pointless to kill the wolves to protect the caribou when human activity is the real cause of the caribou decline.
If they kill every wolf and a whole lot of other animals besides, it still won't save the caribou if human activity destroys their habitat. It is a badly thought out plan. A good predator often helps stabilize a population of animals like caribou.
Look at the example of Yellowstone National Park. The introduction of wolves stabilized the whole ecosystem and the herd animals are thriving. Yes wolves will end up killing a herd animal, but when they do, they kill off the weak and dying. It leaves the herd stronger.
We should take a lesson from nature. Our Strychnine method kills the best and the strongest who eat first.
Nature works to keep things balanced and ensure that the best of a species survive.
