Well this seems like a totally reasonable, well thought out plan.
Quote:
KANANASKIS – Alberta’s government is allowing targeted hunts on “problem” grizzly bears after a nearly 20-year ban on hunting the threatened species.
The province’s forestry and parks ministry may issue what it is calling a grizzly bear management authorization for the purpose of hunting if a wildlife officer determines a grizzly is involved in a human-bear conflict or an “area of concern.”
Under the revised Wildlife Act, Forestry and Parks Minister Todd Loewen will create a pool of eligible individuals who may receive authorization to hunt a grizzly involved in a human-bear conflict or an area of concern.
To be eligible, a person must be an adult resident of Alberta and hold or obtain a recreational hunting licence in accordance with Section 29 of the act. Individuals must apply to the minister to be included in the pool and the minister can then issue permission to hunt a grizzly bear if a wildlife officer has given appropriate authorization.
If selected to kill an animal, one must be on-site within 24 hours of notification to obtain the authorization, which must also include the geographic area where hunting is permitted, the time at which it is allowed, and method and equipment allowed or prohibited.

Troublesome grizzly? Okay, let's go down our list of
UCP insiders lottery winners and instead of taking action ourselves to protect people from a bear that poses a safety threat immediately, we'll ask some individual citizen to be there in 24 hours and deputize them to hunt the bear. And they'll totally know which bear is the right bear to kill and nobody will ever abuse this claiming they just shot a 'troublesome' bear, nope.
