There are significantly more…

There are significantly more recreationalists such as bird watchers, hikers, dog walkers, photographers, geocachers, and families than hunters or outfitters in the province, many of whom are unfamiliar with hunting and firearm safety protocols who may be put at risk as a result of this move.

Moving bait piles closer to publicly accessible roadways or trails increases the probability of negative encounters between wildlife (of all species who are potentially attracted to the bait piles) and non-hunters or outfitters.

Moving bait piles closer to roadways increases the probability of vehicular collisions with large animals (there are tens of thousands of such incidents, including those causing serious harm to the wildlife, the driver and passengers, vehicles; additionally, this can influence insurance rates and road maintained costs).

As more recreationalists who are not hunters use wild spaces, regulations should be put in place to protect them – not increase the possibility or probability that they will be harmed by hunting and hunting-related activities such as baiting.

I do not agree with hunting for sport in any way at all. It is not a sport, it is simple murder for fun. Hunting should only be done when it's for food, to live and survive, and all parts of the animal should be used to respect nature. I don't believe most of these hunters are eating bear, so what do they do with the dead bodies?

You are going in the wrong direction, you need to reduce hunting grounds and licences, reduce the murder of animals, for animals, the environment, and everyone in general, not increase it for the minority of hunters. We need these bears, they are part of our ecosystem, our environment, our land and home. Do not increase a minority group's ability to kill them for fun.
