Vancouver's Image Of Cruel Trapping?
posted on March 2, 2006

It used to be Super Natural BC promoting our spectacular scenery and wildlife roaming freely. So why is VANOC selling sheep skin trapper hats and the igloo image?

Vancouverites should not be portrayed as trappers with a leg hold trap in one hand and a dead beaver in the other. Trapping is part of a barbaric past that drove many species to the point of extinction.
VANOC should be showing the world the wonders of BC's diverse cultures, nature and wildlife.

Please send/phone your concerns to:

John Furlong and VANOC Board of Directors
