It is unacceptable to reinstate the spring bear hunt. We know from past experience that this causes cubs to be orphaned & suffer & starve to death when their mothers are killed. Hunters can not distinguish females from males until it is too late. The mothers leave their cubs to forage so it is not sufficient to only offer protection to bears with cubs at their side.
The public is more enlightened now than in the past & with social media, I can assure you that if this is allowed it will be made very public & the public will see graphic evidence of this unspeakable cruelty towards sentient fellow creatures.
There is no compelling reason to allow the reinstatement of the spring bear hunt.
