As a life-long resident of Ontario (6+ decades) I strongly oppose the spring bear hunt.
Here are some of my reasons:
- Most hunters are non-residents who hunt by baiting bears. this is a disgusting practice;
- Many hunters at bait stations are unable to distinguish between male and female bears;
- Female bears are killed, including nursing mothers;
- Orphaned cubs subsequently starve to death or are killed by other predators;
In this day and age, when biodiversity in our beautiful province is threatened daily by many other factors (such as development on wilderness lands and former farmlands) I don't believe we need to be interfering with the natural order of things any more than necessary.
Do the right thing and do not reinstate the spring bear hunt.
