1. I have strong concerns with how COSSARO as it is misusing this Act. They are listing anything they want without a proper and proven factual science to back their theory for example the "Algonquin Hybrid coy-wolf" This hybrid coyote/wolf/dog which has NO proven DNA is not a species at risk. It is among the same species as a sasquatch or other mystical creature. There is an Easter coyote, Western Coyote, Red Wolf and a Grey Wolf. A hybrid should not be granted as a species.
2. I do believe and need and will encourage everyone to help protect and promote a species that is at risk. We need to protect the environment and species that could become extinct.The exception is an invasive species that is doing harm to the environment and putting native species at risk like the giant hog weed, zebra mussels and others. These invasive species should be eradicated.
3. Also believe that the lobbyist groups like PETA, Greenpeace and other organizations that push their anti hunting/fishing/trapping/logging must be prohibited from providing funding and support to this process and ESA. These organization are terrorist organizations, paid to destroy business and renewable resources. They are after the mighty dollar and are not concerned for the environment or the welfare of animals.
4. More involvement/participation of educated scientist, enforcement officers and along with the experienced hunter, fishermen/women, trappers, loggers and other outdoor enthusiast (front line eyes, ears and voice) to bring awareness to changes in the habitat and wildlife populations. This team will be your most effective means to provide a rapid response to these changes in the environment and wildlife population. They will also be able to provide some valuable recommendation and suggestions to help with a quick recovery of the species at risk.
5. Establishing a team approach as in point 4. will help promote our environment and ensure a healthy, abundant and renewable resource. This also establishes a communication chain that would benefit the whole of Ontario, Canada and even reaching out to the world.
6. Lastly, why do people form outside of our country have the same weighted response equal to Canadians who respond to these EBR?
It should be the people of the area affected, then the province and then Canadians that have the most weight in the response to these EBR. There is nothing wrong with research in other areas inside and outside of Canada that experienced a similar situation to help provide an educated solution.
