The Citizen, Prince George, BC

The WCWC is sending a swat team to Prince George in a last ditch effort�
Expected to arrive this Friday for a three-day stay, the team is to roll
into town with a caravan of two or three vehicles � at least one of them
highly decorated with banners � and set up shop, said bear protection
campaign manager Anthony Marr from Vancouver� This summer, prior to the
launch of the 90-day petition campaign, Marr received a less than warm
reception from hunters at an information session here.
Marr said he expects it will get even hotter this time. �We�re in the
home stretch, and we�re fighting.��
The WCWC would be better off directing its attention to curtailing the
Asian market that deal in bear parts, says groups like the BC Wildlife
Federation�
