I read the news, look at local events and of course Lindsey Leko read some of the happenings on my Conservation Corner Facebook account. I distantly remember reading a newspaper back in the day, but cannot imagine what life would be like CHURCH without my iPad and the development of social media sites. I am pretty well known on many of the fishing and hunting social media pages and frequently get asked to answer questions and provide information about the unlawful sale of wildlife on these social media sites. I have seen for sale items including moose meat, goose jerky, garter snakes, baby raccoons and mounted fish. Many times these items, including taxidermy items, are found for sale on Facebook garage sale pages. It is a daily occurrence and a problem that is growing in Saskatch- ewan and other jurisdictions. History has taught us that allowing or commercializing the sale of wild game meat DIRECTORY leads to over harvesting and long-term damage to our provincial wildlife populations. The same is true of fish and although there is a commercial fishing industry, it is strictly regulated. We have to look at where the problem originates. St. Andrew’s With more and more people looking for a healthy, natural and local source of protein, St. Peter’s they are turning to wild game. The fact that a lot of these people have no past experi- Roman Catholic Church United Church ence with hunting or exposure to natural resource laws is a growing concern. To them, 115 King St., Lumsden, SK buying wild game makes sense, especially if you are not a hunter. 310 Lake St., Lumsden The other consideration is that we have a lot of new people from many parts of the world now living in Saskatchewan. They may not know that wild game is not treated as a commodity here. Many times the post is removed as soon as the person selling learns that what they are doing is illegal. The sale of wildlife, or parts of wildlife, may be contrary to The Wildlife Act. It is illegal to sell, advertise for sale, barter or trade any fish or wild game meat that was taken under either a sport licence, Treaty Right or Aboriginal Right. This constitutes Worship and Children’s Time trafficking in fish or wildlife, and is prohibited under Saskatchewan laws.
