It is time to end this antiquated slaughter. All too often black bear cubs are left orphaned when their mothers are killed. When this happens, without their mothers to provide nutrition and teach survival skills, they die. Unless there are conservation officers to truly protect mother bears and their cubs, and to prevent unlawful hunting, this will continue to happen. Already this province has too few officers to enforce the law.

So many of the hunting practices employed today are barbaric. On the whole, I am opposed to hunting. The extinction rate of animals on this planet is staggering. I think we should do what we can to protect them. To quote Ghandi, "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated". Humans need to learn how to live with the natural world surrounding us, not kill it when it get in our way.
