We the resident hunters of wildlife in Canada want the practice of Indigenous night hunting using powerful lights to be banned in Canada. It is very unethical, as the wildlife are blinded into a frozen position and being slaughtered. The wildlife stands no chance of surviving, often being wounded and not being recovered. It is unethical, non manageable, unsustainable and extremely dangerous. Night hunting puts farm homes, residential area's, highway/road travellers and pedestrians at risk of being shot and killed by a stray bullet. We ask all governments from Provincial to Federal to do the ethical and safe thing for both wildlife and the people and ban this practice for Indigenous hunters. IT IS NOT ETHICAL.

The momentum behind this call for safety is undeniable now. We are forcing a conversation that can no longer be ignored.

Night hunting is unfair and unethical to the animal. Fair chase should be practiced and applied by ALL hunters of this country. There is no pride or glory in harvesting an animal with pit-lamping methods. Poachers in Africa use pit-lamping to illegally harvest elephants and rhinos, to the point of endangered status or near extinction. We're better than that.
End it now. High powered spotlights are not part of "traditional" hunting techniques.
Night hunting? I think you mean poaching, there's no such thing as hunting at night. There's a reason they move at night, it's because they need a safe point at one time in the day
No more night hunting is a must
I am a hunter. I think this is wrong and unsafe. Allowing such practice would be irresponsible.
This is just wrong
This needs to stop, unethical and dangerous.

Even the elders of First Nations call this unethical - Just because the technology exists and a judge who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground said it was legal doesn't make it right. We have to think about the future of the species for all hunters. This is poaching plain and simple.
