Management Plan for the Eastern Wolf (Canis lupus lycaon) in Canada

Common threats to trapping, hunting, target shooting and fishing are all based on false images. These were first created by international animal rights and anti-use organizations, and have been adopted by Canada’s federal agencies. If you were to go to the Government of Canada public safety website, canada.ca/en/public-safety-canada/campaigns/firearms, you would see a tagline that says “Reducing Gun Violence Together.” It features two photos. The visual impression is unmistakable. The government of Canada wants you to believe the people who hunt and target shoot are responsible for the criminal use of guns and gun violence. It’s an outrageous and absurd lie, but it shows how extreme the attack on outdoor heritage activities, including fishing, has become.

THE BENEFITS OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP – HUNTING AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

This report is part of a series on the benefits to society of gun ownership.  Traditionally, firearms have been used for hunting to provide food and sport as well as to protect the economic viability of farms against wildlife.  In recent years it has been argued that the decline in hunting activity has had costly consequences even for Canadians who are not members of the hunting community.
