I am totally against the Spring bear hunting season. Although it is illegal to kill cubs and sows with cubs, mother bears frequently leave their cubs in a tree for safety whilst foraging for food (I have personally observed this). Because hunters are unaware of this, the mothers get shot and the cubs are left orphaned, which essentially means they will starve to death slowly or be eaten by predators.
If there are population concerns on the Bruce peninsula, why is any hunting permitted? Black bear hunting should be closed in all seasons for this region.
Bear hunting does not improve human safety and bear populations regulate themselves if left without human interference. As bear hunting is essentially trophy hunting, it is also immoral and indefensible.
From an economic standpoint, it has been proven that tourism from bear viewing over the long term generates more income than hunting.
