The proposed LEH for Bighorn in Region 4 was absent for this years proposed regulations until just the other day where it appears it was snuck in just days before the proposed regulation consultation would end. It appears now those concerned can voice their opinion until Feb. 11th.
This 11th hour reinstating a proposal is poor governance and the reason why many conservationists don’t trust government.
The following message is from the Kootenay Wildlife Heritage Fund. Do you agree?
“Let’s make some noise about this one, respectfully. It has been proven time and time again LEH is not the answer in a situation like this. Look at the Salmo herd, Philips creek, Mt. Assiniboine. Making bighorn sheep in the Kootenay’s a once in a lifetime opportunity is not the answer. The Wild Sheep Society of BC is firmly against this as it does not address any real issues and instead of managing Wildlife, the ministry is attempting to manage people. Reach out to your local MLA’s, your local ministry office and make your opinion known, it’s time to stand up and make your voice heard.”
