Grizzlies like the The Boss Could Find Themselves in the Crosshairs of Alberta Hunters this Spring
Alberta banned grizzly bear hunting in 2006 and in 2010, grizzlies were classified as Threatened in the province. But now new research is expected to show an increase in some Alberta grizzly bear populations and many suspect the UCP government will use this new data to reintroduce the trophy hunt. Please help Alberta’s grizzlies now with a donation to support this important project to raise public awareness.

Our Feature Campaigns
As special interest groups continue to push for trophy hunting of our apex predators regardless of science and societal values, EXPOSED is focused on two major campaigns this summer: the potential reintroduction of the grizzly bear trophy hunt in Alberta and the unethical practice of trophy hunting cougars with hounds. It's time for wildlife decisions to be based on science, not emotion. Please help give our apex predators their voice.
Protecting Alberta’s Grizzlies
After research in the early 2000s showed a struggling grizzly bear population in Alberta, the trophy hunt was banned and the grizzly bear was listed as Threatened species. Recent data released in March 2021 indicates that Alberta grizzlies are starting to rebound and the Environment Minister has gone on record suggesting that the province might bring back the hunt. This campaign, in conjunction with the Grizzly Bear Foundation, takes aim at this issue with a documentary titled, In the Crosshairs: The Road to Recovery for Alberta’s Threatened Grizzly Bears, which launches on Thursday, August 26th at 7:30 pm MST.

Protecting Canada's Big Cats
Africa's lions are revered around the world and we believe Canada's big cats deserve the same. Recent research indicates that cougars play an integral role in our provinces as ecosystem engineers, helping to shape the landscape for everything below them in the food chain. Yet cougars, lynx and bobcats are all still hunted with hounds throughout Western Canada. Your support now will help us develop our campaign protecting Canada's big cats and produce our first documentary about how these beautiful felines are hunted for trophies.

Our Feature Campaigns
The EXPOSED Wildlife Conservancy is focused on two major campaigns right now: the questionable regulations and practices of Canada’s trapping industry with a special focus on the continued use of killing neck snares to manage our wolves and other fur-bearing animals; and, the potential reintroduction of the grizzly bear trophy hunt in Alberta. It's time for wildlife decisions to be based on wildlife management that is for the entire public and that is grounded in science, ethics and animal welfare concerns. Please help give our apex predators their voice.
Trapped in the Past
Does Canada’s Trapping Industry Need Change? Hundreds of thousands of snares and other inhumane types of traps are set legally across the Canadian wilderness every winter to catch, hold and kill fur-bearing animals like wolves and lynx. Yet science has repeatedly shown that traps like snares are neither efficient nor humane. This campaign, in partnership with The Fur-Bearers, takes aim at this issue and many more within the trapping industry with an exciting, new investigative documentary series, Trapped in the Past: Does Canada’s Trapping Industry Need Change?, which will air in Fall 2022.
