Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

Our good friend Sadie of the CANADIAN WOLF COALITION correctly urging all of us to do our part in stopping the sterilization of British Columbia wolves by Canadian Vets.............The destruction of the gene pool in our Northern wolf population is at stake.................The real culprit responsible for reduced caribou numbers is timber companies cutting down forests that separate the wolves from the caribou.............snowmobiling trails that let wolves into habitat that was previously difficult for wolves to navigate( horizontal and brushy woodlands).......Unethical and improper use of our Vets in this sterilization campaign...........Must be halted!

Subject: Stop the sterilization of BC wolves!

Action Alert
Sterilization of BC wolves by BC vets – It has to Stop!!
Problem: BC vets are sterilizing BC's wild wolves

Why?:  Because BC's Ministry of Environment believes this will build up Mountain Caribou herds. They claim it is non-lethal control but the vets are killing a gene pool with each wolf they sterilize.

Will it work?  No! Scientific study after study have repeatedly shown that these wolf control programs inevitably fail to build up ungulate herds.

Issues:  What right do vets have to sterilize a wild wolf or any wild animal?

              Sterilization of wolves is against the vets Canadian Oath & Code of Ethics Bylaws for BC

Action:  1. Talk to your vet & ask them why BC vets are performing this immoral, unethical & perverse act.

               2. Contact the College of Vet (BC) by email: reception@cvbc.ca 
               3. Demand that they stop their members from sterilizing wolves.
              
See Gary Allan's attached letter of March 22, 2010 asking the College to send out a directive to their vets asking them to refrain from engaging in this practice.  This letter has not been acknowledged nor answered.
Please cc: gallan@recn.ca on all emails.
PLEASE urge vets to not help the scapegoating contuinue.  It will only take a moment of your time.
Thank you from the wolves of British Columbia, for speaking the words they cannot--------------------------------------------------------------
