Description

A heartfelt plea opens this concise yet persuasive call to safeguard Labrador’s wild animal life. The author brings together hunters, fur traders, sportsmen and nature lovers, showing that despite their differing interests they share a common concern for the region’s dwindling wildlife. By exposing the reckless killing that threatens the fragile ecosystem, the work urges readers to recognize the broader cultural and ecological stakes.

Drawing on personal experience along the lower St. Lawrence and a wide range of expert opinions, the writer outlines a practical plan for establishing a network of sanctuaries. He stresses that public opinion, spread through homes and the press, can compel government action and generate the modest funding needed. The appeal promises that protecting these habitats will not only preserve a natural treasure but also bring lasting economic and moral benefits to Canada.
