BCWF Supports Pinniped Harvests in BC

[boxhitch]

anyone know someone who trains dogfish to blood trail a wounded seal...heheheh

Ha ha !
Maybe use a ROVer

The Lower Fraser Fish Alliance (LFFA) and the Fraser Salmon Management Council (FRSMC) both have now fully endorsed the PBPS IFMP to harvest pinnipeds to bring their populations back into historical balance. They joined a growing list of FN's doing so, including the Nisga’a (Licenses issued) and the Haida (discussions ongoing). At this rate, it is entirely likely that every single coastal FN will be onboard in the next short while.


And on it goes...

I think this is long overdue and would like to be able to take part....most likely only be FN though.

Great news! I hope they start with ones living in the estuaries.

Initially it will be FN only for obvious reasons.
However the plan once the foot is in the door is to open it up to all qualified harvesters down the road.
Bigger than baby steps, but steps that have to be taken nonetheless...

As long as it's an equal-opportunity harvest, I support it.

At this point we just need people killing them, we can deal with equal opportunity later. Fight over it now and loose salmon and steelhead... that is exactly what we cant have, some redneck fight over killing seals.

I'll support full communism before enabling more special interests.

I'll support full communism before enabling more special interests.

And I'll support whatever the hell it takes to start addressing this very real problem immediately.
Your route would never see us getting this off the ground.
We roll with what works.

I get it, but that special interest in this case is a tool for the greater good. We are using them to do a job that simply has to be done. Not that I dont agree with you in part. But we need to find a way to control pinnipeds from our estuaries and in many case way the fack up the rivers and into lakes. Throwing your foot down over this one does us zero service and in fact will hurt us. Who do you think will be the last to have access over our salmon runs? Not me or you.

We differ on what is the biggest problem.
