Wolf/Coyote hunting banned immediately.

The new Minister is a nurse from Toronna. What is surprising about this decision ??!!! It's only the beginning !

Matt I don't know much about trapping but what does this mean with respect to quotas in these areas? How many would one line expect to be allotted in the season?

Well it's going to mean no predator management by the trapper on the line which will most certainly mean lower numbers of other furbearer's available to harvest , which in turn will lead to among other things less money for the provinces fish and wildlife program due to less money from royalties from trappers going to the SPA account which in this day and age is providing the bulk of the funding to the program.

Cultural heritage eh? I take it there is a finite list of cultural heritages that she pays attention to in Cambridge that don't include hunting or trapping.

Another at the Public Service trough moved up to yet another public service trough. Same slop/different farm.

It is still legal to protect your livestock, shoot them if they are going after your livestock, nothing illegal about that.

Please take a look a the maps but I am pretty sure it does not matter.

I know that the people up in arms are the ones that want every predator dead, bears, wolves, coyotes, fox, anything that may predate on their hunting opportunities needs to be wiped off the face of the earth, I know how it is.

Oh? Pray tell us what else you know oh learned one.

[69firebird]

I found some more numbers. Mind you this is Ontario wide. Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program payed out $1.6 million to farmers and they say 75% was coyote.

Gerald - guess how many we are going to let walk by this year?

Fox - I grew up in one of those regions. Protection of our livestock was taken very seriously and quite frankly many local hunters through their vigilance kept the wolves at bay so to speak. I have seen my fair share of animals torn to shreds including cows and have seen the devastating financial consequences to the farmer - any loss to us was tough as we were not well off.

Personally by the time I was 10 it was part of my job around the farm. My mom and eight brothers and sisters wood take care of anything as well without a moments thought. Just how it went but honestly if it weren't for the hunters around taking care of predators we would have lost a lot more than we did. Course that was a different time and neighbors gave a crap about each other....

The gov should now be fully responsible for every animal lost. What a bunch of idiots.
