A very sad but predictable ending for our wildlife.
As long as there are different hunting laws and no laws for different people in Manitoba, this contentious issue will continue to fester.
Personally, I have no quarrel with First Nations people or the Metis having unrestricted hunting privileges, as their fore bearers, “when there is a desperate NEED for food and Survival". However, if they are so eager to pursue their inherent right to hunt, regardless of any season, time or law, then they must revert to using arrows and spears, as utilized by their forefathers.
Unless the hunting laws are drastically changed and enforced, I am of the opinion, that it is only a matter of time that big game hunting will be no more. The animals will eventually be shamefully exterminated. The extermination by humans will be complete.
