It is irresponsible, unethical, absolutely unnecessary and cruel to make an annual spring black bear hunting season permanent, one of the reasons being that Hunters often can’t tell the difference between a male and female black bear, and therefore there is a high risk of killing a mother bear during the spring season – orphaning her cubs who are too young to survive on their own.

Despite of a ban on killing bear cubs and their mothers, hunters will do so when they fail to make the distinction.
Shooting mother bears is what prompted the cancellation of a previous pilot spring hunting season in the first place! Reinstating it based on a proposed (dubious) economic need just isn’t enough to warrant the negative impact on the species.
