Re: "Thriving bears represent real value to B.C.," Sept. 29.
I live in England and am back in B.C. on holiday after 10 years. What brought me back? The bears and other wildlife.
I was fortunate enough to sail three times on the Maple Leaf and, guided by Brian Faulkener, the owner at that time, learned of the wonders and beauty of the Great Bear Rainforest. For the ordinary person living an ordinary urban lifestyle, nothing else in the world can compete with the richness of experiencing and learning about nature so abundant in the wilderness areas along B.C.'s coastline. Once destroyed, it will be gone forever.
Please protect all wildlife and habitats in wonderful B.C., and deny trophy hunters their selfish pleasures.
