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…
