I do not support the proposal.
I do not understand why hunting in this day and age remains to be a sport.
Compared to sightings in my youth, black bears on the Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula are greatly diminished.
Furthermore, studies indicate that they may be in danger of extinction within the next fifty years. Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula black bears are an isolated population, genetically distinct from other Ontario black bears and already at risk.
In addition, cubs left orphaned by this activity will also likely become victims as they need to be supported in their development by their mother, The fact that a spring hunt is proposed is really offensive as this is the time that cubs would be most vulnerable.
All seasons should be closed completely on the Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula.
