A plan by Parks Canada to allow a moose cull within the boundaries of a northern Cape Breton park has prompted backlash from local residents.
People lined the Cabot Trail outside the Cape Breton Highlands National Park Tuesday to air their frustration.
“There’s been one shot,” said protestor Dennis Day. “That’s all we’ve heard here so far. You’ll hear it for miles off the mountain.”

Parks Canada is allowing 35 to 40 moose to be taken on North Mountain.
