Elk ranching
The Winnipeg Humane Society opposes elk ranching and the capture
of wild elk for this industry.
Why?
- Wild animals should be left in the wild.
- Deantlering for velvet is painful mutilation of living tissue.
- Confining wild elk increases risk of tuberculosis and other diseases
to
captive and wild herds.
Penned hunting
The Winnipeg Humane Society opposes hunting wild animals
inside fenced compounds.
Why?
- It is unethical.
- It's not a fair chase/no chance of escape.
- Hunting for trophies is wasteful.
Contact your area MLA and tell them you support a ban on Penned Hunting.
