<br />
A sane person would hope that the conviction and sentencing in this case, would also automatically trigger censure in Canada, apparently Not.<br />
<br />
Forty-three is a considerable amount of black bears to lose from this area ( mis-management unit ) and this is just ONE guide. No mention of the other guides, and just regular hunters and what they removed.<br />
