Pacific Wild aiming to raise $50,000 to oppose the wolf cull

[bandit]

They are already at $28,000 and have only been collecting for a day or two. These guys are organized, we could learn a thing or two. They don't even bother saying what the money is for but people are donating generously regardless.

Paid staff at Pacific Wild will be happy

[coach]

For groups like that, wolf culls are great for business..

[smeegle]

funny how you can't post a public comment on their page unless you donate...and i can't seem to find where the money is going to.

...and i can't seem to find where the money is going to.

It goes straight to there bank accounts well they sit back and laugh

[Buck]

Lol what is 50,000 going to do.Nice retirement fund for an island dweller

[Steeleco]

Fools and their money are easily parted!

[Iltasyuko]

Or an increase in emotional advertising to convince the uninformed public to oppose culls, and we know what that will do for future culls - politics runs resource management.

they are a bit too late ,it is all over....fowl

No worries. That money will be pocketed before it gets a chance to do anything of value.


Nothing new.

50 K????At most that will keep 1 and a half tree huggers alive for a year.If they buy cheap wine and heat the house with candles made from their own earwax.And buy sunflower seeds bulk.

The sad part is many of you have donated to these people for there "fight" against salmon farming.

Which places/stores are these, that we are handing our money over to...so as to avoid them in the future...( should start a thread with all the retail locations we hunters should start to boycott)

[flyboy]

Maybe the money is used for a political donation?? We see how well that works???

[Whonnock Boy]

The anti's must love the wolf cull. It's money in the bank for them.

Quite different "fight" than a wolf cull.

While there isn't a concern with farmed salmon killing wild salmon in the literal sense, the concern is putting these dirty farms in the migration routes of wild salmon spreads the farmed salmon diseases. In addition the farms guarantee the extinction of any life under or near the pens... Putting the pens on shore in controlled, enclosed facilities makes more sense.

Donating to an individual or organization that "fights" open pen salmon farming is a great cause.

From the incentives they are giving for the varying donation levels it seems they are just going to cover all the costs of their buddies trips, books, art and bumper stickers. They will most likely have to try for another $50,000 to just cover their administrative costs. What exactly are they doing to "Save The Wolves". They should spend their money live trapping the wolves and moving them to their neighbourhoods so they can feed them, and pet them and love them forever.

[flyboy]

probably not smart to mention company name, I fly those things and not nice when you come to work and fuel cap has been tampered with............

[papaken]

NoahDawg that is one seriously messed up group of tree huggers.

[DarekG]

Ahh yes, save the poor little puppy-wuppies they are so fuzzy and adorable and just wants hugs and kisses. Maybe we can relocate the wolves into the donors neighbourhoods?

[Bugle M In]

what a bunch of F'n Goofs!!
I posted a comment on their site...politely...
They already removed it!!!
they delete any comments that are not in support of their view.

[scott_karana]

We definitely need a cull, so this is ill-conceived. Go figure that none of the pictures show bloody-mouthed wolves eating caribou corpses. Way to anthropomorphize!

But this part of their campaign was correct, in my opinion:


But instead of protecting critical habitat, such as lichen-rich high elevation forests, the B.C. government turned a deaf ear to scientific warnings and allowed logging, industrial exploration and other kinds of human encroachment to take place.

Next election, make sure that we "cull" with our votes, in addition to the wolf cull!

These idiots should take that money and use it to protect every ungulate that is under 2 and is under constant pressure from predators. They're lucky to make it through one season.
These guys are clueless and are so worried about making themselves look good.
Have all the city slickers who MOST have never seen a wolf, except for maybe in a zoo hand over money for what. They think cash pays to stop a hunt. It lines the pockets of who starts these petitions.
Maybe they should post some stats in the vancouver paper of the survival rates of moose/elk calves and deer fawns during their first two years of survival.

I hope your including the spike/fork moose and spike elk seasons in this on how hard it is for them to survive from the 2 legged predators.
