The Mountain Sheep

Posted by Juanita Fraser Posted on: 03/16/08

The Mountain Sheep

About two hundred years ago the Bighorn Sheep were wide spread until the 1900s. Hunting competition from domesticated sheep, and diseases had decreased the population to only several thousand.

In BC near Oliver we had a program to bring back their numbers. Which was great the only problem was because of hunting, and disease, competition from domesticated sheep and waiting to long to do something, their was one Ovis canadensis auduboni sub-species that lived on the Black Hills, that went extinct.

In BC near Oliver. They had a program in affect for the Bighorn sheep. While the program was in affect they were not on the hunting list. Until they needed a fence. They rewarded the biggest donator, to hunt down one Bighorn sheep. Well they got their fence and who ever donated the most money got their sheep.

To me it makes no scents to let someone hunt them, when they are trying to save them. In BC now the Bighorn sheep are back on the hunting list.

To think all that work they put into saving them is going to go up in smoke. Who's to say that we will not run into the same problem in the future.
