Alberta Politics & Government Thread 3.0

[Harry Lime]

I can't think of a bigger wuss, than someone that uses dogs to shoot an animal scared into a tree.

I think that the practice was initially stopped due to cruelty concerns, and that an animal that stressed before dying, doesn't produce quality meat for consumption.

That means that this is for fat, afraid, slow gun toters (i wouldn't call them hunters) that probably need a guide who would provide the dogs. That's loewens family business.

In July, Todd Loewen, the Minister for Alberta’s Forestry and Parks, quietly updated provincial regulations to allow the use of dogs while hunting black bears.

Oh yeah, they're doing all sorts of grift. They're setting up fake forever canada websites, facebook pages, and signature collection locations too.

Maybe this is why the government 'can't afford' free covid vaccines...they want to put taxpayers $ into Japanese refineries.
