I am against the proposal to make the spring bear hunt permanent. Hunters will struggle to distinguish between male and female bears even at close range. This challenge all but ensures the issue that prompted the cancellation of this hunt in the first place is bound to surface again. Nursing female bears will undoubtedly be killed. This is a death warrant for bear cubs who will be orphaned and die when their mothers are gunned down by hunters after emerging from hibernation in the spring. It is extremely disappointing that the current government has so little regard for the majestic creatures with whom we share this province. Ontario has lost a significant percentage of wildlife due to hunting and habitat loss. This is not humane, this is not a sport.
