It is important that any limitations or harvest restrictions be science based. Unfortunately, with species at risk, often emotions take over common sense and in some cases, overrules science. There is ample evidence now that the Algonquin wolf is really a hybrid between wolves and coyotes and yet, it was listed for protection. The concerning piece is that even in the face of DNA evidence, there are groups that continue to push to protect a "species" that does not truly exist. The same happened during the ban on the spring bear hunt. Whatever process is implemented, it should not permit interest groups from within or outside of MNRF to overrule/ignore science.
Thank you.
