Earlier Watson had claimed thal the provincial govern-
: ment was carrying out the wolf-kill program so that elk and

Keen would get the greatest benefit from the program .
' because he caters to big game hunters and owns much of

The provincial government said it is necessary to kill the
'. Wolves because their numbers have ‘grown out of balance
and are depleting the moose, elk. and sheep populations.
