VANCOUVER — The Globe and Mail Published Thursday, Sep. 08, 2016 3:45PM EDT Last updated Thursday, Sep. 08, 2016 3:46PM http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/new-bc-charity-founded-to-protect-provinces-grizzly-bears/article31769886/ Michael Audain, one of British Columbia’s leading philanthropists and the chairman of Polygon Homes Ltd., had been waiting for hours in the rain when four grizzly bears emerged from the dripping rainforest and began walking toward him. The mother and three cubs passed so close he could see beads of water on their rippling fur. “I found them quite awe-inspiring,” said Mr. Audain in an interview. “I felt completely comfortable and the bears seemed to feel completely comfortable with us and I said, ‘wow, that’s absolutely wonderful.’” Read More »New B.C. charity founded to protect province’s grizzly bears
BC Almanac – CBC Radio One
Host: Chris Walker
August 17, 2016
Podcast Link: https://t.co/4wyjKaL4XX Interview with Justice for BC Grizzlies’Val Murray and others starts at 17:20min mark.
Chris Walker:
Some people believe it’s barbaric. For some though it’s a sport. Hunting grizzly bears is a contentious issue in BC. It is legal. Some conservationists think it should be banned. Organizations like Raincoast and Justice for BC Grizzly Bears want to put pressure on the BC Liberals to ban the hunting of these predators. We’d like to hear from you now. Do you hunt for sport? Do you think hunting should remain legal and regulated when it comes to bears, or other animals for that matter? Maybe you think the trophy hunting for grizzly bears should be banned. Maybe not. Give us a call and let us know what you think, around the province. 1-800-825-5950. In the Lower mainland 604-669-3733. On your cell phone * or # 690. You can also tweet us, by the way, at BC Almanac or @ChrisWalkercbc.
We’ve got three quests on the line with us today. We’re joined by Kyle Artelle. He’s a Raincoast Foundation Conservationist and PhD Biology candidate at Simon Fraser University. Good afternoon, Kyle. We’re also joined in our studio in Kelowna by a spokesperson for the BC Wildlife Federation, Jesse Zeman. Good afternoon, Jesse. And finally, we have on the line Val Murray from Justice for BC Grizzlies. Good afternoon, Val. And Val, we’ll start with you. Tell us a bit about Justice for BC Grizzlies and what you’re looking for from the provincial government.
VM: Sure. You bet! Justice for BC Grizzlies is a grassroots movement of concerned citizens and what we want is for the hunt of grizzly bears to become an election issue. And we are galvanizing BC voters around the province; we’re having a really good response. The social consciousness in the province is changing and we’re going to capitalize on that between now and the election.
CW: And why are you opposed to the hunt?
