It’s time to kill the absurd law that allows hunting of Ontario’s threatened snapping turtles.
These prehistoric creatures have existed for 40 million years, and are currently on the brink of extinction thanks to habitat loss, pollution, and fragmentation. And yet, the government of Ontario allows anyone with a hunting or fishing permit to bag up to two turtles per day. It’s high time we told the government to stop this absurd policy.
Send a letter to Michael Graevelle, the Minister of Natural Resources, insisting he take action to ban the hunt of snapping turtles across Ontario.
