good question...has anyone given any consideration to doing anything?

^^^how do you suggest starting the fight against their decision??
So if I'm on glue, just say so. Absolutely no offense taken.
I have a number years of "environmental" experience, but none that directly involves wildlife as it relates to hunting (and more specifically guiding). See below for Wildlife Act section 101 (1) and (2) as they relate to the Environmental Management Act.
Lots of smarter and many more informed out there. Am I reading this wrong, or are there not people affected by the Gov't decision (one that is, based on their own admission, not based on science, but merely on a government's perception on what is "socially acceptable") regarding the Grizzly bear hunt? Guides, those that have applied for Grizzly LEH, trappers.....
Seems like something that can, and should be forwarded to the EAB. Unless of course, I am missing something very obvious. If I am, just let me know, and I will simply kick back and have another beer.
Reasons for and notice of decisions
101 (1) The regional manager or the director, as applicable, must give written reasons for a decision that affects
(a) a licence, permit, registration of a trapline or guiding territory certificate held by a person, or
(b) an application by a person for anything referred to in paragraph (a).
(2) Notice of a decision referred to in subsection (1) or (1.1) must be given to the affected person.
101.1 (1) The affected person referred to in section 101 (2) may appeal the decision to the Environmental Appeal Board continued under the Environmental Management Act.
Doesn't matter if they didn't win the election, they made a sweetheart deal with the Greens and viola BC Libs sit on the sidelines. Might be a good thing if you consider they [libs] were going to put everything on LEH for resident hunters. At least that is what our local outfitter told us they were pushing for, and it sure looked like the libs were doing their bidding to me.
Fully disagree!
Doesn’t take a genius to figure what the future motives of the NDP were re: grizzly hunt. It was simply a continuation of the 3 year ban imposed in 2001.
Remember the three-year moratorium on hunting grizzly which came into effect on Feb. 8, 2001 announced by Ujjal Dosanjh .
The Liberals repealed it on July 16, 2001 after decimating the NDP in an election winning 77 out of 79 seats & resuming the fall hunt!
History repeating itself
G & M-Mr. Dosanjh announced the hunting ban after significant local pressure and an international advertising campaign by several environmental groups.
A group of 68 biologists have called for a moratorium until comprehensive population studies were completed. More than 100 tourism operators have also called for an end to the hunt. The most recent public-opinion poll, taken five years ago, showed 77 per cent of British Columbians wanted a ban.
“People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.” -Otto von Bismarck
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.-Albert Einstein
Does anyone have a link to any news article that explicitly states that the outright ban on griz was initiated by Weaver and the greens as a trade off for site "C" rather than some reporter interpreting it that way...it seems to me that Weaver was more into changes that included meat retention than the NDP who already had a history of banning the griz hunt....
