I am in support of shortening the duration of the black bear hunting season, not just in the Bruce peninsula but everywhere in Ontario. In fact, I am in support of eliminating bear hunting altogether everywhere in Ontario. Consider recent legislation in Europe which classifies animals as sentient beings. This recognition will spread. Canada should be in the forefront of this movement, not lagging behind. We need to protect the non-human beings with whom we share our land, rather than kill them. Hunting is not a “sport”, it is bullying and exploitation taken to the extreme. Humans need to look at our culture and our own brains to root out the influences that drive some people to take pleasure from killing. This is highly distorted behaviour and a government agency that permits such behaviour is NOT reflecting the views of the majority of the population. Ban hunting of all animals at all times.
