To enlist the comments and concerns of hunters with regard to changes to the hunting practices of moose is akin to asking the fox to provide security for the hen house. It's a ridiculous plan and one that will not stand for ALL Ontarians. I totally oppose the killing of moose for fun and my voice matters.
As a life long Ontario resident, my opinions and concerns regarding moose are every bit as essential as are those of the special interests (killing for fun and gun lobbies) you've engaged to enhance their special interest.
First year calf killing is wrong and needs to be abolished. A baby moose's weight is much easier to manage than an adults and that's why the killers want to kill babies. Truth be told, killers just want to kill anything but easily managed weight is the reason for the calf kill.
Moose population are in decline while poaching is up. Quotas need to be lowered and enforcement needs to be neither kind nor gentle where illegal wildlife activity occurs. The numbers of Conservation officers needs enhancement and increased legislative powers.
The system is broken to the detriment of both wildlife and the people who enjoy them. The system is continually damaged by self righteous killers (hunters), abusers and the politicians who allow it to happen. This is nothing more than self interest, self serving and on the wrong side of right.
