The spring bear hunt is a travesty of hunting. What it is, is legalized slaughter - a way of providing year-round income for the hunting and fishing lodges. This is completely different from true hunting - my relatives do that when they hunt by observation and tracking.
In my opinion; baiting the bears is CAUSING problem bears.
Once bears get a taste for human food, they want the donuts at Tim Hortons too. They can travel many kilometers following a scent. And the female bears who can't be shot, but have eaten the bait, will be the most motivated to get too close to people. Their cubs as well.
Please show us the full statistics and results from previous hunts, so that we have some scientific basis for keeping the spring hunt.
