Should hunting be banned in the City of Coquitlam?
That question is up for debate at a public meeting tonight.
The proposed bylaw would see bowhunting and hunting with firearms banned within municipal boundaries.
The issue is a contentious one, with archers and hunters angry over the potential loss of their recreation.
Sara Dubois with the BC SPCA says they’re not opposed to hunting that is “ethical and responsible”…..just not for trophy or sport.
The issue was first tabled last year, when a bear was forced to be put down, after being hit by a bowhunter.
The meeting starts tonight at seven at Coquitlam City Hall.
