Why was their mother killed by hunters? Calgary Herald Letter To Editor June 9, 2020: by Carol Tracey, Calgary
Concerned over grizzly hunting
Re: Grizzly bear cubs cannot go back to the wild; Orphans would have a hard time surviving, Gordon Stenhouse says, Opinion, May 28
On June 5 Canada celebrated UN World Environment Day whose theme this year is biodiversity.
In keeping with this sentiment, I re-read The Grizzly Manifesto written by Jeff Gailus who passionately champions the cause of vanishing grizzlies.
He recounts his meeting with a sow grizzly and two cubs that ended peacefully. Well-known naturalist (not a biologist) Charlie Russell (www.charlierussellbears.com) also encountered grizzlies with no harm. He frequently suggested that humans caused the majority of the problems.
While the orphaned grizzly cubs await their fate to be determined, I await details of why the sow grizzly was killed by hunter(s). Knowing that bears, many with cubs, are attempting to regain their strength after hibernation, I, for one, question why any hunting is allowed during that particular period.

Not zoos. We have too many animals that need a special place to grow and then return to the wild. Alberta is far behind other countries
Life in captivity is no life at all. Please send these Cubs to a reputable rehabilitation centre .
I agree. Send them to a rehab center so they can be free. So sad mother was killed!! Not fair!!
