Stop the trophy hunting of bears in the Great Bear Rainforest ahead of the 2010 Olympics

British Columbia, Canada, is the host of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It is also home to the Great Bear Rainforest—one of the last tracts of temperate rainforest on earth.

You might think that here, bears could live in peace. But each year, trophy hunters slaughter black and grizzly bears with rifles and crossbows for entertainment. Unless we act now, there may one day be a Great Bear Rainforest without bears.

With the 2010 Olympic Games fast approaching, the eyes of the international community are on the province of British Columbia. The trophy hunting of bears in the Great Bear Rainforest is opposed by 78 percent of British Columbians—including the indigenous peoples of Coastal First Nations—and the government's refusal to stop the cruel kill is damaging Canada's international reputation.

TAKE ACTION
Please stand with Humane Society International and First Nations to protect the bears. Contact the government of British Columbia and the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games—let them know that you will consider avoiding the Olympic Games as long as trophy bear hunting continues in the Great Bear Rainforest. Please act now—your voice is vital to saving the bears.
