The Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune (MRNF) asks the Lower North Shore population to be vigilant, following reports of wolves behaving in an aggressive and threatening manner in their area. In particular, wolves have attacked pet dogs in the Brador area, near Blanc-Sablon.

This behaviour is extremely unusual, and the MRNF therefore asks members of the general public to report any sightings of wolves near their homes.

Citizens may telephone the SOS Poaching line (1-800-463-2191) at any time. Residents of the Blanc-Sablon area may call the Sûreté du Québec at 418 461-2162 or the Pakuashipi Public Security Service at 418 947-2787.

The general public is asked to supervise their domestic animals at all times. In addition, it is recommended that household garbage be kept indoors, so as not to attract the wolves.

Predator Hunting on the Manitoba Prairie
As a young lad growing up in any rural area can tell you, predators are a part of life, whether you like it or not. I was introduced to a form of predator control at an early age, my father always used to run a small trap line, nothing special, just a bunch of snares and a few foot traps set out on only the most popularly used predator trails. My old man was always on the lookout for a new spot to set up traps and was usually right on the money when he returned to see if his hunch was correct. His personal best was 8 coyotes and one red fox, which he managed to collect during a 2 - day period about 20 years ago, it seems the tradition is bred into our heritage. This is the story of how my brothers and I tied my dad's personal best.
