Credible research shows that climate change, aerial spraying, habitat loss and deforestation are among the reasons for the drop in moose populations. The Ontario government needs to take meaningful steps in order to protect declining moose populations. The first step would be to stop moose hunting for the next five years. It is humans who are responsible for the decline in moose population.
Eastern coyotes are not significant predators of moose. Wolves also generally prey on the youngest, oldest, and weakest moose, consuming few strong, breeding-age moose. These have eons old predator-prey relationships. To allow mass killing of coyotes and wolves will negatively affect the biodiversity and environmental balance.
I expect the Ontario government to do better at protecting our wildlife instead of killing it! The medieval mentality of blaming the big bad wolves and coyotes should be a thing of the past.
