Subject: New Wildlife Act or Just Another Empty Attempt ?

dear Susan Fleck,
well we certainly do need to change the wildlife act and peoples attitude, but what we don't need is more rhetoric, legal compromises and procrastination of justice surrounding this grave issue! I am appalled,horrified and insulted by what the GNWT are proposing for the new wildlife act! No i am not native , or an outfitter for sport hunters, not even a developer with grandiose plans and projects for the rest of the world to marvel at! I am a resident of 25 years in the NT and yes it is my responsibility to express my concern over these issues of wildlife protection from encroaching industry, wasteful hunting practices and egotistical ideologies claiming personnel rights over all living creatures! It is evident that the present NT Gov. and resident populations don't have a clue how to manage the wild life of this land during these changing climate conditions which are possibly destined to only worsen! Please don't use that redundant lie that the Elders are all wise steering us into a brighter future! The fact is that most of those elders who did have valuable knowledge concerning this land are mostly all gone, leaving behind a spoilt and jaded generation that wants their cake and eat it too! It doesn't work that way! This horrific and greedy plundering of natural resources will be our only epitaph to future generations if we continue on the path we now tread! What is the answer, you wont like my opinion i'm sure, but i am obligated to tell you anyway!
1. BAN ALL SPORTS AND TROPHY HUNTING
2. STOP WASTEFUL HUNTING/FISHING PRACTICES AS YOU ARE NOT SHOPPING AT THE LOCAL SUPPER STORE MEAT DEPARTMENT PICKING OUT ONLY THE BEST CUTS AND DISCARDING THE REST
3. PROTECT YOUR WILDLIFE AND LAND FROM INCONSIDERATE DEVELOPERS WHOM APPEAR TO BE ABOVE ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN IT COMES TO SAFE ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES AND PROJECTS
4. MAKE A DILIGENT AND HONEST EFFORT TO MONITOR THOSE THAT INSIST ON HUNTING/FISHING/GATHERING AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SHOPPING AT THE LOCAL QUICKIE MART AND MAKE INFORMATIVE EXAMPLES OF RESTITUTION FROM THOSE THAT BREACH THESE GUIDELINES OF SUSTAINABILITY AND PROTECTION
5. BE SURE TO INCLUDE EVERYONE CONCERNED OF THESE ISSUES HAVE A DEMOCRATIC INPUT INTO THE OUTCOME OF THIS HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL PLAN OF PROTECTING AND SUSTAINING OUR RESOURCES, INDEED THERE IS NO ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHOM ARE PRIVY OVER ALL OTHERS CONCERNING THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES, WE ARE ALL INCLUDED IN THIS STORY OF HUMANITY AND WHAT WE CONTRIBUTE TO IT!
There i have spoken and i knew some of you wouldn't like my opinion! Common sense must prevail and intervene over false and destructive economic enterprises and practices, we are not here to play the blame game as a means to achieve our objective but rather to avoid having to use blame as our only and last resort to correct or protect what is here for all to share,enjoy and make constructive user friendly use of! I hope this will be of some use to developing a long term plan for sustainability protection and hope that everyone will make a conscientious attempt to express their personnel opinion on this topic.
respectfully,
