Stop this mine!

I am concerned that fish were caught to see what kind of fish live there.  Please switch to humane non lethal ways to identify animals.  I am very saddened that fish were killed to test for pollution.  Please stop lethal sampling and acute lethality testing of fish, frogs, birds, etc. Please switch to Non Animal Methods, or humane non lethal bio monitoring.  There are definitely effective non animal methods of ecotoxicology

Please do not build this mine.  It cuts right through the homes of Indigenous people, most of whom do not want their homes and traditional way of life destroyed by this proposed mine. The mine will also displace caribou and many other animals.  Additionally, mining involves a lot of animal testing, with acute lethality tests on fish, and lethal sampling of free roaming wildlife.  Already, a lot of fish were killed to study the effects on the environment.  This is not consistent with Canada phasing out animal testing.  https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/programs/consultation-strategy-replace-reduce-refine-vertebrate-animal-testing.html

Please preserve the trees at this location. Please do not harm animals with this project. Please do not use animal testing for pollution and effluent monitoring. https://www.change.org/p/stop-testing-sewer-water-on-laboratory-fish

?Please work with the Canadian Centre for the Alternatives to Animal Methods. https://www.uwindsor.ca/ccaam/

Please only use non lethal ways to live with geese, beavers, and other wildlife. Develop a Living With Coyotes program with the animal welfare organization Coyote Watch Canada. www.coyotewatchcanada.com

Please only use non lethal ways to manage wildlife. There are humane, non lethal ways to deal with beavers. Here's a great resource. https://thefurbearers.com/downloads/PDFs/Beaver%20Book%20-%202019-10-08%20The%20Fur-Bearers.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1fP2wOYQKbWREX0E5QzYBhZLf9VjwMov3p37Vh8ToW1-NeQvAoVATZhEg%0A%0A

This company makes non lethal products. https://margosupplies.com/ca-en/ ?

Conventional rodent control uses cruel methods. The companies use glue traps, and snap traps, which, like legholds, can cause injury. They also use rodenticide, which kills slowly and kills many non target animals.

Killing animals does not solve the problem. Montreal’s feeding ban bylaw and Rouge National Park's bear proof bins are far more effective because they remove attractants. Please change your pest control policy to instead remove attractants, and fix holes, along with a humane contraception program. Please invest in non lethal solutions like bear proof bins (which also keep out rats) and public education. Tuffbox is a garbage and recycling bin that keeps out bears and rodents. Please also visit www.bearwithus.org to learn more about bears.
