BC NDP Unscientifically Justifies Illegal Aerial Killing Of Wolves to Protect Caribou Populations (which are declining to due to human habitat encroachment/development), while at the same time Killing Moose Populations in order to Starve the Wolves.

 And the former Green leader Andrew Weaver endorsed them for re-election?

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The government got caught red-handed trying to low ball a new moose cull in an effort to somehow starve out wolves and (theoretically) save endangered caribou herds."                 
[...]
"Moose used to be a prolific species, but not any longer. And the difference here is that the government wants to apply a moose cull in the name of “caribou recovery.”

Unfortunately wolves are ruthlessly efficient pack hunters and will easily move onto another food sources (like caribou) if moose are not available."

"But some people question the science of the cull, pointing to the loss of habitat as the cause for declining numbers.

A 2020 paper published in the international journal Biodiversity and Conservation, found that addressing potential threats from wolves did not slow the loss of mountain caribou in B.C. and Alberta, and that the government-sponsored cull has had “no detectable effect” on reversing the decline of endangered caribou populations."
