This is wrong on so many…

This is wrong on so many fronts, including environmental and being inhumane.

Black bears are one of the slowest reproducing mammals, only 2 to 3 cubs in their entire lifetime! And hunters often have difficulty telling the difference between a sow and boar and will mistakenly shoot a sow leaving the cubs alone, when they should be nursing. They’re left to die or be killed themselves.

When we are already facing historical world issues due to climate change why would you bring back the spring bear hunt which will possibly jeopardize the bear population in the long run, when they already will inevitably face more challenges in the coming years due to climate change: drought, violent storms, etc.?

This is just plain wrong… it puts the black bears at risk of becoming critically endangered. Let alone may leave cubs to fend for themselves, often not successfully.

Doing this is like taking one step forward and two steps back. It’s cruel and unethical.
