Guide outfitting company launches class-action suit against B.C. ban on grizzly bear hunt

Those who have made their livelihood off hunting are pursuing a class action lawsuit against the province for the harm they say a provincial grizzly-bear hunting-ban has brought. Scott Ellis, with the BC Guide Outfitters says it's been a tough year since the province took a tough stand on the trophy hunt. They are pursuing a class action suit to be compensated for all they've lost - while still working toward a new deal with the province.

Raincoast consists of conservationists and scientists who used peer-reviewed scientific research to achieve their conservation goals. They have been very active in working to protect grizzly bears, and Chris Genovali with the Raincoast Conservation Foundation joins me now…
