Hunting Black Bears in the spring exposes cubs to the loss of a parent bear and the resulting risk to the health and life of the cubs. While sow Bears are protected by this legislation the fact is they were protected previously when a Spring hunt was in force but sows were still hunted and killed.

This proposed legislation change is a significant step back in policy and will be massively unpopular with the great majority of the population and will be a political sinkhole for the government in presently in power.

The proposed change in policy is beneficial to only a tiny minority and will provide little consequential positive economic to the Province.

Don't do it!
