GOBBLING QUAIL
The traditional calendar tells us that from December 7-11th the 'cold sets in, winter begins' (閉塞成冬 'sora samuku fuyu to naru').
In the short run-up to New Year, some whimsical sweets begin to appear...such as Toraya's (とらや) 'quail' (鶉餅 'uzura mochi').
Residents living next to the former #RoyalOak golf course in #Saanich fear that #IllegalHunting has caused a “significant drop" in the local population of #CaliforniaQuail.
“Since early July, several people have witnessed and reported frequent trapping of quail to the Capital Regional District #CRD and other authorities,” said a resident, who wished to remain anonymous. “We believe the trappers have almost decimated the quail population on and around the property.”
#BritishColumbia regulations only allow for California #quail to be hunted during October and November, by someone with a #hunting license. However, as the 10.94 hectare piece of land, adjacent to #ElkBeaverLake Regional Park, is owned and managed by the CRD, any hunting of wildlife, including quail, is a violation of a #CRDparks bylaw.
The COS and the CRD have asked that anyone with information should contact the Report All #Poachers and Polluters hotline at 1-877-952-7277.
