Group loses court battle to end aerial shooting in BC's "war on wolves"

(Ian McCallister, Pacific Wild/ Facebook)

“The war on wolves continues.”

That’s what the conservation group Pacific Wild says after the Supreme Court of British Columbia denied its application to end the wolf cull.

The BC government began the cull in 2015 to save endangered woodland caribou, and has seen at least 1,400 wolves killed through the aerial wolf reduction program since then, according to FOI documents obtained by Pacific Wild.

Environmentalists and animal advocates have long argued that critical caribou habitat loss has caused the decline in population, not wolves.

The province previously told Daily Hive that habitat protection, habitat restoration, and maternity penning were also being used in concert with the wolf management program to recover caribou populations.
