It really undermines the credibility of the department because, from what we have heard, it is as though we have carte blanche to kill. And yet we have specific regulations, the hunt is orderly and there is monitoring.
To come back to those who want to abolish the hunt and the Humane Society, there is something that I find disastrous. As these people come and provoke us on the ice, the managers and the monitors are more or less obliged to divide their time between monitoring the abolitionists in the Gulf and the hunters, instead of devoting all of their time to monitoring the hunters in order to ensure that they are doing their job professionally. In our opinion, the government's image is tarnished as a result, and it must become involved. The people who are organizing these ad campaigns have a lot of money. We hunters do not have the means to respond effectively.
