text: People talking about the parenting here, when this isn't even applicable in the situation. I am from Prince of Wales Island, and what you people don't realize is this place is REALLY small. The authorities would have found out about this and come a knockin' whether the dad called it in or not. The father probably had a lot to lose if this came down on him. On POW Island, we have a different sort of respect for our land. We call in bears killed out of self defense, we trap legally, we report the animals killed because that is how we manage our rainforest ecosystem. It has less to do with parenting and much more to do with our way of life. This title is as sensationalist as it comes.
