Alberta Sees Record-Breaking Interest in Hunting "Problem" Wildlife, Including Grizzly Bears
[Published: March 10, 2023]
A staggering 7,000 individuals have applied to hunt Alberta’s "problem" wildlife, including grizzly bears, a record-breaking number that has left the provincial government officials stunned.
According to the Minister of Environment and Parks, the unprecedented interest in hunting these animals is a testament to the effectiveness of the province’s wildlife management strategy.
"This is a clear indication that our approach is working, and we’re seeing results," said the Minister in a statement. "By managing our wildlife populations, we’re not only improving public safety but also supporting sustainable hunting practices."
The applications, which were accepted through a lottery system, will be used to select successful applicants for the hunting season, which is set to begin in the fall.
The 7,000 applicants include both resident and non-resident hunters, with many coming from within Canada and the United States.
Grizzly bears are among the most sought-after species, with many hunters eager to take part in the controlled hunt.
However, conservation groups have raised concerns about the impact of hunting on grizzly bear populations, citing the species’ declining numbers in the province.
"We understand that hunting can be a valuable tool for wildlife management, but we urge the government to prioritize conservation and ensure that any hunting is done sustainably," said a spokesperson for the Alberta Wilderness Association.
The government has stated that it will continue to monitor the impact of hunting on wildlife populations and will make adjustments as necessary.

Submission Statement: A decades long hunting ban on an endangered apex predator is being lifted so regular citizens can hunt for grizzly bears that have been deemed to be dangerous to people. The arrogant and ignorant Ministry of Forestry and Parks (Todd Loewen) was on the radio and multiple times explained that this is not a hunt. A conservation specialist said that there is no scientific justification to hunt them, and other areas have more modern ways of dealing with the problem.
It feels like someone’s drinking buddy wants a bear rug in the entrance to their gaudy oversized mountain cabin and talked them into handing wildlife control over to citizens from the conservation staff.
I fucking hate humanity.
Disgusting.
When they have guns too, go for it.
Play fair with nature ffs.
The thing about conservation is no matter what it’s a losing position. It takes 10000 years to grow a forest. That’s 10000 years of protecting it to make a true forest. It takes about a week to cut it all down. So eventually the people who will destroy everything will win one day because the people protecting it have to win every time the people cutting it down have to win once.
Western states have been doing the same thing with Wolves. Before they were dishonestly taken off of the endangered species list, and after, they still were allowed to justify the Hunts by calling them problematic. Shout out of helicopters, and using poison and giving people a free reign to kill them. Even when illegal, States like Utah and Montana refuse to prosecute and the FEDS are worthless as usual.
It is worth noting the poison traps kill a lot of pet dogs and other animals. They do not give much if any warning they are putting out sodium cyanide traps, and they have denied their involvement in pet killings they were responsible for and have otherwise obscured what they do. Not just Wildlife Services on the Federal side, but the states do a lot of the same things.
Wildlife services is basically a Hitman for the Ranchers. The true welfare queens.
