I am deeply concerned that Ontario is not stepping forward as a conservation leader. The risks to dependent cubs of female bears is well known and was the reason for suspension of the hunt in the first place. Climate change and habitat encroachment are increasing the threat to our wild spaces and the creatures we share them with. Most hunters participating in the Ontario bear hunt are non-residents who hunt by baiting bears and are unable to distinguish between male and female bears.
Orphaned cubs starve to death or are killed by other predators. There is no compelling evidence of a need for this hunt. Please listen to the public, not just lobbyists, and do the right thing!
