What is WeHowl's stance on aerial gunning of wolves?

WeHowl strongly opposes the aerial gunning of wolves, as it is an inhumane and ineffective method of wildlife management. We advocate for non-lethal conflict resolution strategies that prioritize ecological balance and humane treatment of wildlife.

Ban Compound 1080 Poison

Compound 1080 is an inhumane and indiscriminate poison still registered in Canada to kill coyotes. Not only are symptoms extremely painful and prolonged before death but 1080 kills wolves and all scavenging animals (including pets) on the landscape.

Financial rewards are provided in parts of some provinces when a dead wolf or coyote is turned in, with some individuals claiming more than a hundred dead canids per year. This practice is archaic and needs to end.
