Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I should clarify, for the Members, that when I talk about management of wildlife, the most important part of managing wildlife is using the wildlife, is harvesting of the wildlife. If the wildlife becomes a problem, then it is because we have no use for it anymore. They no longer become beautiful wild animals like wolves or grizzly bears, they become public nuisances, varmints and pests, which is exactly how they are defined in Europe. In
Europe, a wolf is a pest, a fox is a pest. They are not called wild animals. They are only wild animals if they live in North America and that is what I am talking about, the hypocrisy of animal rights activists. I agree with the Member that grizzly bears, if they will become over abundant, will inevitably start killing each other off. The young will starve. The animals will starve and they also become a problem for property owners and communities, so, all the more reason to look at options like having an annual allowable harvest of these species that can benefit the communities, the hunters and put value on the species, so that we will continue to try to protect and manage them in the best way we can to ensure their future viability. Thank you.
