BendiNewsTest: British Columbia to cull nearly 200 wolves in last-ditch effort to save caribou

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

British Columbia to cull nearly 200 wolves in last-ditch effort to save caribou

In a desperate attempt to save the endangered mountain caribou of British Columbia, Canada, the government there has ordered a death sentence for up to 183 grey wolves. Populations of South Selkirk mountain caribou have dwindled into the double digits, and the provincial government blames the iconic wolf species for putting the caribou in danger of extinction. Wolves are often made out to be “the bad guys” when another species is in trouble, and then targeted for culling, but there is a lot of controversy surrounding their relative guilt or innocence.
