Yes,Yes,Yes, it was a huge mistake to cancel this hunt in the first place. I am a retired conservation officer, having worked with MNR for 37 years.
In my entire career, I never investigated a shot sow with abandoned cubs. Sure it likely happened, but not to the extent that justified cancelling an entire hunt, with all of the associated ecological and socio- economical ramifications.
The Conservative government of the day, was wrong in the decision making to cancel. Let it be rectified by another Conservative government, in bringing it back.
And lets learn from the mistake, resources need to be managed under scientific parameters, not political ones.
