Dear Honourable Diana McQueen:
Please find attached another photo that is quickly going viral
on the subject of pack dog use in Alberta.
Friends and I were out on the weekend for a great hike with our
pack dogs in a WMU that is currently open for big game hunting and our actions
were perfectly legal providing we were not hunting. It makes no sense to me
that had we been doing exactly the same thing but with a rifle and big game tag
in our pocket, that it would have suddenly been illegal. Is your department’s
opinion of Alberta’s hunters that they are so unethical and irresponsible that
they are the only group that needs to be excluded from the mountains with pack
dogs? Are Alberta hunters such slobs that they cannot be granted the same
opportunity as other hunters right across North America? Or, is as your staff
has indicated, this law was poorly written in the beginning and should not
apply to pack dog users in hunting season? We have yet another hunting season
upon us in Alberta and still there is no indication from your department that
you are willing to rectify this flaw in the system. Please help us out before
Jet loses another 21 years of his life to this pointless bureaucracy.
Yours truly,
T.J. Schwanky
