Alberta’s rural municipalities have called for the grizzly bear hunt to be opened, citing more frequent encounters at farms and residential areas along the Rocky Mountains.
“Bear encounters are becoming more frequent and more severe in Alberta’s eastern slopes. These encounters increase risks to residents, livestock and property,” the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) posted to Facebook on March 11.
