I would like to see the Ontario government abolish any form of bear hunting and, instead, promote eco-tourism. This will still bring revenue to the province and will also protect the bears.
Why people take pleasure by killing an animal is beyond me.
I believe that protecting all wildlife is far more important for current and future generations than allowing a select few to needlessly kill.
How can the government be 100% certain that hunters will be able to tell the difference between a male and a female bear? What if the female is seen without her cubs and is mistaken for a male? Can the government in good conscience allow bear cubs to be orphaned? How long will they last without their mother?
Please promote the preservation of nature and eco-tourism, not killing!
Thank you
