Item is an anti-bear hunting poster issued by the Gowgaia Institute. It features a print of a Haida bear on top. Beneath the bear is the title "It's Simple To Make A Difference - Make a Choice". The lower portion of the poster provides information on black bears, including diet, hibernation habits, breeding habits, and growth of bear cubs. It ends with a call to ban black bear hunting on Haida Gwaii. Below the text is a graphic depicting how many black bears have been killed in Haida Gwaii between 1976 and 2003. It emphasizes that these numbers are bears killed recreationally and does not include "problem bears" put down by Conservation Officers. The bottom border gives various names for the black bear, reading "Taan - Haida Gwaii Black bear - Ursus americanus carlottae". |
