Why is the ministry so quick to leave so many orphaned cubs and injured females at such an important time in their life. You offer fines and jail time but that will not stop humans from hunting them. Your articles are confusing. In all my years in corrections I did not see anyone charged for killing a female bear and leaving her young to starve to death. Nor did we read anywhere any hunters were given a $25,000 fine for killing female bears with cubs.
Where is the logic in hunting in the spring. This time is crucial to wildlife especially bears. They are hungry and attracted to bait piles at which time most hunters can't differentiate between male and female bears.
The bears are not causing any harm nor are they overpopulated and in conflict with humans.
The only two legged predator in this situation is man.
Please do not reinstate the spring bear hunt. It should be a thing of the past forever.
