Paper Summary:

This paper explores the environmental and ethical issues involved in the hunting of wolves in and around Algonquin Park. The paper shows how sport hunting is extremely anthropocentric and how the Canadian government supports it. The paper also suggests ecotourism as an alternative to hunting.

From the Paper:

"Wolves in North America are in a general state of decline. For example, the article "Fear and Loathing" states, Before the first European settlers arrived, timber (or grey) wolves were found almost everywhere in Canada. The wolf has now been extirpated from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, southern Ontario, southern Quebec, and the Prairies. It is endangered in all but one of the lower 48 states, where it has been exterminated from 95 percent of its former range (Anonymous 3). This statement clearly indicates that wolves in North America are generally in a state of decline."
