I am in complete opposition to continuing a spring hunt. It is foolish to believe that all mothers and cubs will not be affected. It is impossible to identify whether a bear has cubs unless they are accompanying her. As is well known, mothers often leave cubs in trees for saftey and do not allow them to accompany her to baiting sites. "Prohibition" of hunting mother bears has never worked and nor will it work now. Continuing the hunt will only mean more young are left to perish and suffer. Allowing a hunt during the spring is completely unethical and I am dismayed that the Ontario goverment has failed to identify this time and time again.
