It is an unforgivable step backwards in our responsibilities as caretakers of this land, to reinstate the Spring Bear Hunt. This is solely to gratify financial greed and appease hunting lobby. Bear cubs will continue to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent. If a mother is killed, her cubs will die slowly of starvation or be eaten by predators. I have witnessed this tragedy.
Bears have low reproduction rates, meaning the survival of adult females is vital for the species. Bears are an essential part of a balanced ecosystem.
Hunting bears doesn’t improve human safety. Stopping human-bear conflict is achieved by removing access to garbage, BBQs, and other attractants.
The scientifically sound reasons to stop the reinstatement of the Spring Bear Hunt are numerous, as are the moral ones. Reinstatement is unconscionable and will do great harm.
