The spring bear hunt is not necessary. If the province managed this matter properly, one hunt a year, in the fall, is enough.
Ther are too many irresponsible hunters that will not wait long enough before shooting a bear, to see if there are cubs, and maybe even then, would shoot anyway.
Even in the fall, cubs will be orphaned in their first year of life by lazy or greedy hunters, a lot of them Americans, who want a trophy at any cost.
Another problem is the sale of bear body parts to Asians for bullshit medicine, whether the bear is killed legally or not. Does the govt. condone these sales?.
People must learn to live with bears in certain areas of the country, and the govt. has to do more to re-locate bears instead of the lazy way out, just shooting them. It's not the public's problem that wildlife management in Canada is a joke, the govt. just doesn't give a damn enough to put monry into it.
All large mammals in Canada are under threat, just beacause Canada has a lot of wilderness, doesn't mean things are well with the environment. We have to stop putting money before wisdom in tthis matter. Putting money made from letting people kill animals into protecting the environment is ass- backwards. The Ministry has been backing this myth, it thinks it now to be the truth!.
Just because the govt wants to be cheap, don't make the bears pay for govt. cutbacks.
