Killing is not conservation and the history of hunting seasons on all wildlife every where have proven to be disastrous. The minority of people that receive joy from killing animals have more rights for opinions on non scientific basis for promoting hunting season. Plus, to direct this on a focus of the tourism industry is a profound defect in the creative process of the ERO. Issues like this are to appease the minority base of the "hunter". Cross that boundary and don't look back and design tourism programs for photo ops and educational programs with policies of conservation without killing and permit the predator/prey populations to flourish and create the balance that nature meant to be. I have seen the disturbing videos and other graphics that the "hunters" post on social media and the animals are always made to suffer. This is animal cruelty in the worst possible scenario. So I'm thinking that giving opportunities for public comment is a smoke screen for a decision that has already been made. Humans have become allowed to become basers to trigger into the automatic kill mode as a first resort and that is evident in the violence that is pandemic across the globe. I am an advocate for non violent and measures of balancing the wildlife population everywhere by letting nature take it's course and stop the senseless killings of all wildlife and voila the predator/prey balance of animals will become as nature intended. If the ERO were factoring in non biased scientific data then this issue would not be an issue. The opinions of hunters and their non scientific assessments of numbers counted on their fingers of wildlife is not an intelligent basis for animal specific hunts. I am attaching a video showing a Toronto Bear hunt video where the Bear is baited (not fair and not hunting) and the arrow does not kill the Bear instantly so there is much torture and suffering experienced on the Bear's part...ANIMAL CRUELTY. HUNTING IS NOT A SPORT. SPORT IS WHEN BOTH SIDES KNOW THEY'RE IN THE GAME.
