US Edition‘Brutal B.C. Souvenir Shop’ in Victoria takes aim at controversial wolf cull
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, JUL 30 – Pacific Wild opposes the wolf cull killing over 2,500 wolves since 2015, arguing habitat loss is the main threat to endangered caribou populations, not predation.
- Amid escalating controversy, Pacific Wild’s project director Natasha Wehn said the 'Brutal B.C. Souvenir Shop' in Victoria opens on Aug. 1 at 633 Courtney Street.
- Aimed at protecting endangered caribou, the wolf cull has entered its second decade, with the government saying predator reduction is considered when predation is 'a barrier to effective recovery'.
- FOI documents reveal the government says predator reduction targets wolves, with 1,500 caribou in 2017 and wolf predation identified as a key threat to herd recovery.
- Pacific Wild mobilized widespread media attention with legal actions and scientific research questioning the cull’s ethics and effectiveness, while the group launches a global campaign starting August 13, Wehn said.
- Highlighting broader risks, the pop-up shows that 'Critical habitat continues to be logged and fragmented, while wolves are gunned down from helicopters year after year,' Wehn said, risking B.C.'s wildlife reputation and tourism.
