Grizzly bears are one of these endangered kind of animals facing a dramatically decrease of their quantities. One of the most man-caused issues that closely related to the decrease of grizzly bear’s quantities is the unsustainable hunting. The continuation of the sport hunt in its current form reveals a provincial government sorely out of step with “reality on three fronts – grizzly bear science, economics and public opinion” (Horejsi). The David Suzuki Foundation illustrated that “This is not a sport, it is a senseless slaughter. The trophy hunt goes against every moral teaching that we carry and is disrespectful to our culture and values”(2013). So, the increase numbers of human-caused grizzly bear deaths are directly result from over-hunting. The good news is that there are increasingly domestic and national political organizations take really actions to protect this species, such as the Species at Risk Act (SARA), David Suzuki Foundation, and Coastal First Nations. These environmental groups help people growing awareness of grizzly bear’s living situations, thus being responsible for the circumstances that grizzly bears are in danger. By each of us reducing our environmental footprint and regarding the grizzly bears with knowledge and sympathy, it is hoped that the harmful effect that have done by us could be restored as much as possible.
