B.C. has killed wolves since 2015 in order to revive the caribou population
Parr is founder of WeHowl, a non-profit organization advocating for an end to B.C.'s wolf cull program. WeHowl fundraised for the installation of two new murals in Nelson and Vancouver meant to start dialogue about the species and its importance to the province's ecosystems.
Laporte, an Ottawa-based artist who two years ago painted another mural in the city as part of the Nelson International Mural Festival, said he wanted the piece to portray wolves in a kinder light than that of rarely seen predators. The conservation organization Pacific Wild says B.C. has killed 2,192 wolves since 2015, while a CBC report published in December found the province had spent $10 million to date on the program.
Parr says the argument in favour of the cull is what the province considers to be a healthy wolf population. That, in her opinion, isn't nuanced enough.
