Shockey’s Hand of Man Museum in Maple Bay B.C. i

Shockey’s Hand of Man Museum in Maple Bay B.C. is nothing but one man’s trophy collection. In B.C. 80% of the population opposes trophy hunting.
Jim Shockey owns two guide outfitting companies in B.C. and Yukon. He hosts tv hunting series and has authored books on hunting. He also holds the record for killing the most wildlife species: three hundred and sixty seven. From Wikipedia ‘His hunting adventures have spanned six continents and 50 countries.[5] Shockey has been called by Outdoor Life magazine “the most accomplished big-game hunter of the modern era, having taken arguably the most free-range big game species by any living hunter.” They also noted that he is “the most influential celebrity in big-game hunting.”

In a world where man’s consciousness is realizing that trophy hunting is one of the contributors to the biodiversity crisis, we don’t need to support and promote one man’s devastation toward nature.

Such a display of pillaging of nature’s wild should be condemned not promoted in any way.

Following are quotes from reviews posted on Trip Advisor since Hand of Man Museum opened in 2019.

July 2022 “Way too much taxidermy in this museum! The suggested donation is $20 which is overpriced…… I’m a bit worried the money collected might help fund trophy hunting in Africa of endangered species“ July 2022

March 2022 “The building should be torn down and the artifacts returned. Not my style – don’t care for trophy hunting and this was an exhibition to show his conquests. Not a legitimate museum IMHO,”

September 2019 “If you are into non-sustenance hunting displays, this will be right up your alley…..We saw no signs or information about any philanthropic work done to support the countries visited by the owner of this collection…. big money for big game hunting is implied, of course. I left feeling confused and conflicted and likely will not return.” #animallovers #naturelovers #crueltyfree #crueltyfreeliving #vegetarianlifestyle #wecare #wildlife #animalrights #antitrophyhunting #stopkillingwolves #stopkillingbears

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! This holiday sea

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! This holiday season we are cherishing memories of our sweet Reesa-girl who peacefully left this world Nov 20,2022 and is so very missed😢. She was born in Mexico in 2007 and we were lucky to be her guardians from Feb 2009. She brought so much joy and unconditional love to our home & hearts. Our wonderful memories of Reesa are slowly filling the deep hole she has left behind. ❤️ 🐾❤️ “Run & Be Free Forever Sweet, Wild One”
