Protect a Person's Right to Hunt and Fish

Please reopen the bear hunting

I support conservation and hunting

Science based wildlife management is the only hope for wildlife. Social based management is the only hope for a few desperate politicians.

Hunters and fisherman are the sole reason North American wildlife exists and is flourishing. Sound hunting and fishing decisions should be the work of professionals not the ill informed general public who can be swayed by inaccurate animal rights organization advertisements. Keep hunting and fishing alive in BC!!!

Science needs to be the contributing factor in wildlife management... Emotions and information given to the public by misguided individuals need to be kept in a seperate file.

My opinions is that true science needs to back any hunting closures or openings. Closures due to some people not wanting anything killed is not science but pure emotion.

Everyone has the right to hunt and fish

Hunters are the single most contributors to animal and habitat conservation

Politicians should not be dictating wildlife laws.

I have had several hunting and fishing experiences in British Columbia and hope to see that continue with all that wish to have that experience. The outfitters are doing a great job managing their areas and understand wildlife management and conservation. Let them continue to do their job.

Hunting should be based on science and not emotions.

Decades ago, Jack O'Connor wrote the most detrimental thing you can do for wild game is close hunting. Hunters are the political voice of wild animals.

Please use science and bring back a sound management plan that includes hunting for grizzlies

Please attend to the Hunting/Fishing Heritage Amendment Act, 2018 for a second reading and debate. Thank you~ Ben L. Seegmiller

I have hunted in British Columbia 4 times and every one was great. Keep your hunting heritage. ——Also, do not forget the millions of dollars that this generates. Thank you

Hunting is a great way to help keep a healthy population. Great traditions for families.

I strongly recommend continued but controlled hunting of grizzly bears in British Columbia. Pop[ulation statistics presently support continued controlled hunting so there is no real reason to banned harvesting

Keep up the fight to protect our right to hunt and fish.

I have hunted in BC in 2014, I see no reason for grizzly bears to not be hunted. With a population of 15000 bears you probably already have too many for the available habitat.

Hunting is a terrific way to help control the animal population. Without this management plan, the number of bears could soon rise to levels that make animal/human interaction common and deadly. Banning hunting, as was done in Kenya with lions, had the effect of extinction of wild lions in the region due to famers no longer tolerating the lions eating livestock. Bears in BC could potentially become threatened just the same.
