The region, about 150 kilometers long stretching from
The group had to purchase the commercial trophy-hunting license owned by Raincoast Outfitters Ltd. for $1.35 million. Not an easy feat for most groups.
Yet, it isn't a 100% ban. It aims to bar foreign hunters from killing grizzly bears, wolves and other carnivores, but will not stop provincial residents from making trophy kills.
And on the issue of trophy hunting: "Trophy hunting is sacrilegious to First Nations," said Art Sterritt, executive director of the Coastal First Nations. "We don't hunt for fun. We don't go out and measure what we hunt. We hunt out of necessity." This just makes sense. Some kill to survive, others kill for pleasure. Hummm, which one do you think has a more legitimate claim? Which one do you think needs to be locked up and observed? Definitely not the one who simply wants to survive.
