Re: "Bowhunting proposed to cull Prince Rupert wolf population," Feb. 10.
"Cull?" How about "atrocity?" If the human population has unbalanced the natural ecology of the area, the answer is not killing wolves, particularly not with bows. Modern bowhunting is a high-tech enterprise. The bows used are sometimes high-powered crossbows, but all hunting bows are revolting in their intended use.
Check the Bowhunting Canada site. It's full of pictures of smiling men posing with the bodies of dead animals.There's even a lobby group, the United Bowhunters of B.C.: "One objective, bowhunting opportunity").
Bowhunting is an atrocity and should be banned. For those who want to kill a being that society still sees as expendable, at least do it quickly and in a humane manner. No, I don't eat any animal products and I don't think abattoirs are humane either. It's well past time to ban bowhunting in B.C.
