They might not be calling it a "hunt", but recent moves by Todd Loewen allow for public killing of bears. This won't resolve conflict. It will result in more dead bears. There is no data to support this and it goes against the Provincial Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan.



Alberta has launched a grizzly bear hunt. But don’t worry, it’s “a safety measure.” “I’ve never raised cattle, but I was the agriculture reporter for the Calgary Herald long enough to recognize the smell of BS.” David Climenhaga writes. 🐻 #abpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/0…

While the new grizzly bear non-hunt is complicated, what's crystal clear is that Todd Loewen isn't basing these new regulations on data, expert opinion, or government documents. What's he basing it on? Your guess is as good as mine.. rmoutlook.com/kananaskis-cou…
