Skunk Bounty Is Reinstated

Skunks beware!

The Legislature yesterday gave approval to a Liberal resolut- fon calling on the government to give consideration to reinstating

a-hounty on skunks at the rate of $2 per. snout.

The mover of the resolution, Harold Smith’ (L-4th Queens), said the province is becoming overrun with skunks and_,‘‘pos- sibly they are the greatest nuis- ance we ever had.”’ \

He said the government made a@ mistake when it removed the ‘$1 bounty on skunks a few years ago. He said that since the bounty’ was removed, skunks have already doubled their num- bers andj e hecome a menace to the farmers and wildlife of the srovince and are definitely not a tourist attraction *

Fisheries Minister Leal flog siter who is responsible for the

wildlife division of government |

said he could not. see anything wrong with the resolution and

possibly the government, erred in |

temoving the bounty, it did so on the best available.

J. David Stewart (PC-Char-
