“Invermere Deer Protection Organization” will be holding a protest rally
on Saturday February 18th at 1:00 at the Cenotaph in Invermere. This
peaceful protest will be an opportunity for the community as a whole to
show their support and also to speak with the members of the rapidly
growing group. There will be information on the many alternatives to
help manage the deer populations without using the extreme method of
killing.
This same grassroots group won a temporary injunction
in the BC Supreme court to postpone the cull until February 24, 2012.
The municipal council was prepared to begin a cull of 100 deer without
what this group thought was adequate consultation or discussion on
examining other humane non-lethal alternatives. Since winning the
temporary injunction on the cull from the BC Supreme Court, the
organization has been flooded with requests to join by the members of the
community. The staunchly pro-cull mayor of Invermere has also taken an
openly partisan position on this issue and has been inciting a few of
his pro-cull friends - ignoring all decorum of a sitting mayor and the
highest elected official of the town.
