I don't agree with hunting of black bears. Increased encounters with bears is not due to overpopulation of the species, it is due to expansion of human civilizations (both urban and rural). It is not fair for the species to be potentially threatened because of increased human population. For these specific safety concerns, there are other ethical ways of chasing bears out of civilized areas - such as training dogs to scare bears away and/or enforcing and educating residents on proper behaviour to avoid attracting bears in the first place.
This will also increase the amount of abandoned cubs if their mothers are being hunted in the early spring. This will ultimately create a higher cost for wildlife sanctuaries to take care of the increased number of abandoned cubs.
