As the debate around trophy hunting in British Columbia continues, a new poll suggests more British Columbians are opposed to it.
In a new online survey conducted by Insights West, 91 per cent of British Columbians said they opposed hunting animals for sport.
The trophy hunting of grizzly bears in particular has been a hot topic this year, with a number of wildlife organizations around the province calling for a complete ban.
According to government numbers, the current population of grizzly bears in B.C. is estimated at about 15,000 and Premier Christy Clark insists the population is very healthy.
