I am writing to request the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party legislators to cancel the Spring Bear Hunt that was supported by the previous provincial Liberal government when they were in power. I am surprised that such a consideration is even being debated knowing that the out of touch former Liberal government supported it. I urge you to follow in the footsteps of past Ontario Progressive Conservative Party Legislators that had the foresight not bow to the pressure from hunting lobbyists.

Bears are integral to the health and well being of a landscape and far more tourist visit Ontario and Canada hoping to see bears in their natural habitat then those who hunt and kill bears. Supporting the Spring Bear hunt will only provide short term funding compare the to many tourist who visit in the hopes of a sighting of the rich wildlife that Canada supports.

Canada is a progressive country and we have an opportunity to lead the way in highlighting how much we value our wildlife and nature to a world that has lost so much of its wildlife. The Progressive Conservatives were elected to lead Ontario out of the quagmire that the Liberals had created. So I urge you not support this ill conceived policy.
