I am completely opposed to the proposed changes that will, I believe, bring about the extermination of wolves and coyotes in Ontario. They are being made scapegoats. We could kill every coyote in the province and it would not significantly help the moose, and the Eastern wolves are a threatened species already! Your advisers know that the decline in moose populations is not because of predation by wolves and coyotes, it is because of us. So establish protected reserves where moose will be safe from human predators and end the calf hunt completely. Do not cave in to the hunt lobby, they do not truly represent public opinion. People can kill very quickly and easily, but it is almost impossible to revive and extinct or even extirpated species. Many Ontarians are horrified by the unfolding anthropocene, do not speed up the extinction of our coyotes and wolves.
