[QUOTE="klein, post: 981883, member: 23950"] My whole family lives in rural Alberta, and none of them own a rifle , nor hunt. Besides hunting is only allowed during hunting season and only with proof of a license to shoot a certain animal (for example white tail deer) - then you're only allowed to hunt for those, and nothing else. In National Parks, hunting is totally illegal and having even a rifle with you is not allowed. Bear spray works just as good for self defense. And you,re right. The mounties can shoot half dead animals, or even live animals that have attacked humans. But not the general population. You just don't get it, and can't visualize living in a country with strict gun rules, that it's not even worth owning one. And you can even visualize calling 911 if you see a half dead animal on the road. Mounties are always nearby, in every little town and on every highway doing patrol. So are park rangers. Try shootin g an animal here, like you do in the US, and you'll end up in jail for a few nights, have court apperance, then face some hefty fines ! Next time you hit a dog or cat in your UPS truck, shoot it dead, and see how fast you'll lose your job once someone reports it ! [/QUOTE]
