It would be better if you paid attention to the science behind the ban rather than pandering to a few individuals who prefer a dead bear to a live bear. In BC we are moving toward a more humane and modern approach to wildlife. A dead bear satisfies one person, who has a desire to kill. Bears do not provide sustenance; this is killing for fun.
Ontario can become known for barbaric practices or move toward developing a reputation for respecting wildlife and diversity. Tourism is built on wildlife that is sustained, not killed.
There is no evidence of issues with bear populations. Typically bear/human conflict is due to the human encroaching or leaving attractants.
Do the right thing - maintain the ban on killing bears. Or, reinstate the ban and begin to cultivate a reputation for backward thinking on conservation and wildlife protection. I am proud to now reside in BC where we are taking a more modern approach to wildlife protection, including grizzly and black bear. One bear can sustain repeated economic benefits through tourism. A dead bear gives one person the thrill of killing a helpless creature.
