The Complex Lives of Wild Wolves with Dr. Marc Bekoff & Ian McAllister
Join us for a discussion about B.C.'s wolf cull - the science, ethics, and the cost of getting it wrong
Tuesday, May 26, 5:30 p.m. PT
Is killing wolves ever justified as a conservation tool? And what does it say about humans - and our relationship with wildlife - when we choose "predator reduction" over real solutions?
Join Pacific Wild co-founder Ian McAllister and renowned ethologist Dr. Marc Bekoff for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about the emotional intelligence of wolves, the ethics of predator killing programs, and the flawed assumptions driving B.C.'s wold cull.
Together they'll explore:
- Stories from the field: what are wolves really like?
- What science says about wold sentience and emotional intelligence
- The ethical dimensions of lethal wildlife management - and why they matter
- What a more just and ecologically grounded approach would look like
This is a conversation you won't want to miss! If you can't join us live, you'll still be able to watch the recording.
