Re: Wolf kill, not backcountry bans, saving caribou (B.C. Views, Oct. 13)
Killing wolves has been the “white man’s way” since we invaded First Nations’ territories prior to and after 1867.
Wolves are predators, caribou are prey, but recent documentaries by researchers have shown wolves to have a beneficial impact on more than prey numbers. Their activity affects the environment in ways that short-sighted hunters and biologists could not perceive.
Those who study wolves probably have conflicting information than those who study caribou.
