Please rethink this. How many naturalist societies are in favour of this? any? why are naturalists opposed?
How will those who are children now and their children look upon this bear hunt? will they ask how responsible officials could support this kind of unnecessary violence? It is not a good idea. Of course, cruelty to bears is cruelty to animals and must not be allowed. Everyone understands that, even those who find killing them sport.
If morality is not an issue here, then please look at the environmental impacts to wildlife and the nature that makes Ontario beautiful. Bears have low reproduction rates. Cubs perish when the mother is shot. The science does not support the bear hunt, let alone advocate for it.
Ontario is a leader in Canada and must show the rest of us the responsibility to trust the science, not those who enjoy killing bears.
Don't do this to make political points. Show that you have a higher priority: care for the world and the animals who live in it, remembering that we also, we human beings, are animals too.
