Subject: Please let Grizzly Bear Rehab have a Chance!

Dear Honourable Minister Penner,

I write to you on this occasion to ask that you respond to the overwhelming support of citizens in B.C. to be proactive on bear conservation and rehabilitation. Please do the right thing now.

This is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the citizens that your government does care about nature and conserving it. There can be a balance struck between economic pursuits and wildlife protection and enhancement. Please let the non-governmental agencies partner with you to help find further this balance.

If we never venture out of our 'comfort zone' we will never progress. There are biologists in your government working hard on Grizzly research that do believe rehab should be investigated and tried. Please search those experts and others out and sit down at the table to discuss and resolve this issue.

The cubs are waiting !!!

Sincerely,
Barbara Murray
