New Book Tracks the History of Yukon Wolves

by Dave White
Bob Hayes probably knows more about the Yukon’s wolves than anyone else.
As a government biologist, he spent more than two decades studying their behaviour, learning about their history in the territory, and the symbolic importance to the Yukon.
He also collected a lot of great stories along the way, and he has used all of that to create his first book, Wolves In The Yukon.
Wildlife Hysteria: Nova Scotia’s War on Coyotes

by Billy MacDonald and David Orton
In Nova Scotia, coyotes are designated “other harvestable wildlife” and can be shot or otherwise killed year-round with no “bag limit.” There is also an NDP government-initiated, subsidized trapping program, through a “pelt-incentive” of $20 per dead coyote, for licensed trappers.
We are informed that coyotes seen near communities — for example, around schools — “are to be captured and killed.” A Department of Natural Resources press release of Jan. 21, 2011, states: “More than 800 coyote pelts have been shipped to market this season, a 51 per cent increase over the same period last season.” Government media releases have spoken of aiming to kill 4,000 coyotes!
