The BC Wildlife Federation � has pulled the fall issue of its magazine off newsstand shelves because it contains defamatory statements against the WCWC.

 

As well, in ads appearing in The Vancouver Sun and Province newspapers, the federation makes a public apology for describing the environmental group, which prides itself on adopting legal tactics, as terrorists� In his editorial, (BCWF executive director Doug) Walker likened the WCWC to �terrorists groups who threaten human lives, burn houses, send razor blades in the mail or kill family pets to get attention��

 

�Wilderness Committee director Paul George said in an interview the recall of the magazines and the apology in the Vancouver dailies is only a first step. The Federation must also apologize in smaller papers throughout the province and agree to pay all the Committee�s legal costs in launching the BC Supreme Court libel suit against the Federation, Walker and president John Holdstock�
