POACHERS HIT NATIONAL PARKS VANCOUVER (CP) — Poachers are leaving a bloody trail through national parks in the mountains of British Columbia and western Alberta. : Jasper, Banff, Kootenay and Yoho parks have all been hit during the past several weeks. 4 ‘The national parks are among the last places on earth where trophy elk, moose and bighorn sheep can be found, and snow forces the animals down from higher elevations, making them easy targets as they graze along highways. Wardens in the four national parks know of 10 trophy animals taken by poachers so far this winter. Two elk and a moose were killed in Jasper, Yoho and Banff lost an elk each, and five elk were taken from Kootenay. The Kootenay victims included three bull elk, their bodies lying in frozen pools of blood, found by wardens along a one-kilometre stretch of Highway 93. “On the first they took only the head and hindquarters,” said chief warden Peter White. “They smashed in the skull and took the rack (antlers) on the second. The third was just shot and left.” ‘A week earlier, his wardens had found the remains of a cow and calf shot by poachers. “We:spend a lot of time and money trying to prevent it,” White said. “But if a poacher's good at his game, chances are he'll get away with it.” Poaching isn't the biggest killer of big game in parks — five times as mansy animals are killed by vehicles — but poachers aim for big males that have grown into trophy animals in the parks, where there is no legal hunting and wolves are few. They are key animals in propagating the herds, and also are the animals tourists most appreciate seeing. Wardens know poaching has taken place only when they find evidence — headless carcasses, or-piles of guts. “The onés-who have the ability to take an animal whole, to just put the body in a truck-or something, leave us no evidence,” White says. _ PARKS ‘SACROSANCT’ “Our parks are sacrosanct and the same thing applies to the animals in our parks,” says John Carter, president of the B.C. Wildlife Federation. “These are our national treasures.” The wildlife federation is lobbying to have the penalties for poaching increased from the current maximum fine of $500. Carter said poachers can make 20 times that much selling the heads of trophy animals, and poachers in parks should go to jail. “I don’t think they're hunters,” he sai criminals. It’s just like the ivory trade.” Federation members have begun their own patrols, taking note of all vehicles and watching for suspicious “I think they're Columbia Ave. COMMUNITY Bulletin Board Rubber Stamps Made to Order CASTLEGAR NEWS 197 Columbia Ave. Z Camille Laurent Archam- bault, husband of Mary Ar- "Here's how you can say | to all your friends t chambault, passed away Sunday, Dec. 1 at the age of !

Funeral services were held at St. Rita's Catholic Church on Tuesday and today with burial in Park Memorial Cemetery. Funeral arrangements were under the direction of the Castlegar Funeral Chapel. Carter said these patrols are needed because government spending cuts have reduced enforcement and because the recession seems to have encouraged more people to poach. “I don’t have any statistics to back this up, but my gut feeling is that poaching is getting worse,” he said. “And when they go into parks it’s particularly offensive . where animals are used to being fed and photographed by ‘tourists.” + In one case, a guide took a California construction magnate — said to spend $150,000 a year on hunting — on an illegal trip through Jasper National Park. Among their kills was a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep that was so tame the guide took a photograph of it sniffing his boot. The guide, William Rankins of Wasa, was paid $8,500 for his work. He was fined $5,000 and jailed for 75 days on? various charges including transporting illegal trophies across park, provincial, state and int i boundaries.
