Lets all OFAH members join together block roads and railway tracks and demand changes. It works for the natives, I am sure the OPP would let us get away with it. May be something we have to do to get action.

It works for the natives because the government is afraid of the natives. We would go to jail. Do you remember the show "one dead Indian"?Originally Posted by skipper
Waaaaay more hubbub over that than the Moncton shooting.
How is it one careless cigarette can cause a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to light a campfire?
They don't sell moose or deer. Where the hell did you hear that?
See below...it is being done and when we non-natives buy it we create the market and keep it going ...legal or not.

BARRIE -- Three aboriginal hunters are now on trial facing more than 50
offences including the commercial sale of moose, bear and deer meat, as
well as black bear gall bladders.
David Stock, 39, of the Wahta First Nation; Anthony Williams, 32; and
his father George Williams, 55, of the Moose Deer First Nation in the
township of Georgian Bay, north of Orillia, are charged under the Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Act.
Canada has the largest remaining black bear habitat in the world and
their gall bladders are sought after for use in traditional Asian medicine.
Provincial conservation officer John Diebolt told court how he acted
under cover as a real estate agent who also organized game hunts. He
said he stopped at a gas station near the Wahta reserve where a cashier
told him David Stock was the best hunter around.
Diebolt said when he met Stock in his home he offered to take him hunting.
"He told me he hunts whenever and whatever he wants," Diebolt said.
Stock, who is in custody for a trafficking firearms conviction, smiled
and laughed as he sat in the prisoner's box.
I hate to say it but if this keeps up some of the good ol' boy locals will cut the OPP out of the loop and then things will get nasty. I think it's time for the Band Council to do it's job and reign in the bad actors. If the bad actors are NFN then it's time for the mNR to do their job. I agree that the purchasing of wild fish and game supports this activity. Again that's up to the same authorities to regulate depending on whether or not the sale is on reserve or off reserve. More money for enforcement would help I'm sure.
