Mr. Jensen was born in 1933 on the family farm located on the west coast of Jutland, Denmark. From an early age, he participated in the farm work and when his dad went hunting, he came along. Hunting and wildlife management is an integrated part of farming in Scandinavia. Mr. Jensen worked in farming until he was 18 years old. Then he spent two years as a logger in Norway followed by two years as a sailor in the Norwegian merchant marine. After that, it was time to report for service in the Danish army. This was supposed to be an eighteen month service. However, Mr. Jensen stayed for seven years, out of that three years were spent at the military academy. Then Mr. Jensen quit the army and started a civil education at the Danish Technical University in 1960 and graduated as a civil engineer in 1966.

After nine months in an engineering office, Mr. Jensen started his own consulting engineering company with an office in Copenhagen. After nine years of operation, Mr. Jensen sold the company in 1976 and emigrated with his wife and two children to Canada where they settled in Vancouver, B.C. In Vancouver, Mr. Jensen first worked ten years in a major consulting firm before in 1986 again forming his own consulting company, now in Vancouver. Mr. Jensen is still 100% active in the engineering business. However, there has always been time for hunting and fishing with a strong interest in wildlife management.

 
 
Season for Seal Hunt in Canada
Here we go again. The seal hunter gets onto the ice floe to take some seals for the pelt, for the meat or just to reduce the number of seals. As usual, the world media is covering the event. Old time celebrities are converging on the floes to have their picture taken together with a white-coat. The animals right activists or NGOs, that is HSUS, PETA, Green Peace and more, are busy spreading their propaganda that it is wrong to kill the innocent seals and that the Canadians are using an inhumane method of killing.
Letter to  Dr. Yves Lecocq - Secretary-General, FACE
The US and their allied forces are fighting terrorists in Afghanistan, in Iraq and in other parts of the World. However, It appears to me that the Environmental Terrorists of the World are a bigger threat.
The Media and The Eco Terrorists
It is interesting to see that journalists/columnists, who the day before were writing about the importance to get the tsunami victims back on foot and to restore their livelihood, the next day are very adamant in not allowing the Canadian fishermen and seal hunters on the Canadian east coast to restore their livelihood which with the help of the media was destroyed by the Eco Terrorists (ET) about two to three decades ago.
Wildlife Management from a Hunters Point of View
In Scandinavia, it is the hunters through their hunters associations that are in charge of wildlife management. The hunters associations make recommendations to the government which then makes the laws and regulations.
