Global Television Cancels Hunting Shows from it's 2013 line-up

It is with great sadness that we announce the very unfortunate decision by Global Television/Shaw Media to cancel all hunting shows on Global and the Shaw affiliate networks.
Canada in the Rough™ has been airing for 8 years on Global Television and we've had a tremendous experience doing it. We want to thank all of you for your support throughout the years and as much as we hate to say goodbye, we have no choice. Canada in the Rough™, Canada's most-watched hunting show, will be pulled off Global Television after December 30, 2012.

Our hunting heritage is under constant attack by those who have forgotten that hunting is at the root of human existence and still the most valuable and effective tool in wildlife management.

If you wish to share your thoughts with Global regarding this decision, please email viewercontact@globaltv.com as well as glynnis.prystae@sjrb.ca and greg.mclelland@shawmedia.ca or call 1-877-307-1999.

Please remember to enjoy the greatness of Canada and be proud of your hunting heritage.

Sincerely,
Keith Beasley, Paul Beasley & Kevin Beasley
Executive Producers

Fines and Forfeitures For Transport and Possession of Illegally Killed Muskox
Publish Date: Wednesday, 5th of September 2012
by M.N.R.

Following a multi-agency, inter-provincial investigation, two Ontario men have been fined a total of $5,500 for the transport and possession of illegally killed muskoxen.

William Troubridge, of Elora, pleaded guilty and was fined $4,000 for unlawfully transporting from Nunavut to Ontario two muskoxen that were killed contrary to Nunavut legislation, thereby committing an offence contrary to the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act.

Roger Davidson, of Stouffville, also pleaded guilty and was fined a total of $1,500 for unlawfully possessing in Ontario a muskox that was killed, transported and removed from Nunavut contrary to the laws of that jurisdiction thereby committing an offence contrary to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997.

The limitation period had expired in Nunavut for any charges for the unlawful killing of the muskoxen. In addition to the fines, the taxidermy mounts of the muskoxen were forfeited to the Crown.

The courts heard that in April of 2005, William Troubridge and Roger Davidson were involved in hunts for muskox on Victoria Island, Nunavut. Video of the hunts was being taken for a Canadian hunting television show. Following information provided to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, a search warrant was obtained and the raw video footage of these hunts was seized from a video production facility in Ontario.

Investigators from the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment Canada's Enforcement Branch (Ontario Region) and the Government of Nunavut Department of Environment determined from the videos that the muskox hunts were conducted in violation of Nunavut wildlife legislation in force at the time of the offences. The Nunavut legislation prohibits using a vehicle, motorized toboggan or motorized three-wheeled vehicle to knowingly get within 1.5 kilometres of a muskox for the purposes of hunting the muskox.
The videos show the men being brought to well within 1.5 km of muskoxen so they could more easily select, hunt, shoot and kill the muskox of their choosing. In the case of Troubridge, the video shows that, with his full knowledge, muskoxen were herded by guides on snowmobiles toward him.

The three muskoxen were shipped to Ontario where taxidermy was performed on all the animals so they could be displayed as trophies.

Justice of the Peace Arthur Child heard Troubridge’s case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Guelph, on June 5, 2012. Justice of the Peace Allison Forestall heard Davidson’s case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Cobourg, on June 20, 2012.

To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
