Please do not allow more development

Please do not build another natural gas pipeline.  Please do not frack the land,  We are in the midst of a climate crisis.  This proposal, which would damage and destroy the homes of grizzly bears, caribou, birds, fish, and many animals, is terrible.  And gas plants destroy all sorts of animals in laboratory testing of their effluents, and in lethal sampling of birds, fish, frogs, etc.  We do not need more.  

Please preserve the trees at this location.  Please do not build on an area that has a lot of trees, and do not build on a wetland either.  Please do not harm animals with this project. Please do not use animal testing for pollution monitoring.  https://www.change.org/p/stop-testing-sewer-water-on-laboratory-fishPlease 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.
