park wardens

the wardens and conservation officers here in alberta have had their guns taken away and are told that if they come across a poacher, rowdy campers or whatever to call the police and wait back they no longer have any enforcing rights which is messed right up! we are just inviting the poachers. I think this is bs

So they basically made Mounties out of them? In Africa, they are allowed to shoot the poachers on site!

How do they expect the wardens to be effective when they are policing folks that are armed?!?!? All that's gonna do is get one killed...after all, the poacher is already breaking the law and in my opinion if you're willing to break one you're willing to break others...i.e. Fire on warden's to keep from getting caught!

I have no clue what they are thinkin. why are we paying for their paychecks when they just cant do a thing about anything they encounter that is illegal in the bush except wait back and call the cops who could be hours away.
