Please suspend the spring bear hunt for ever as it is unnecessary, not in keeping with science and utterly inhumane as it leaves bear cubs to starve. It is horrible to let any being die like that and for what: for the lust to kill. Listening to the hunter lobby is akin to listening to the gun lobby. we don‘t need hunting and when it is needed it should be done by professionals and not by drunken idiots and poorly trained and poorly skilled shots.

Regulations in this province and this country about hunting are way to lax and not reinforced at all. I see hunters breaking the law all the time, by shooting from their vehicles, drinking Alkohol, and by hunting outside hunting season. There is not sufficient oversight. I doubt that they all have hunting licenses. I find carcasses near roads that had only the heads removed. A bear was killed last year in my neighbourhood. This bear had been around for a while and was not a nuisance bear. An excited neighbour and hunter saw him and shot him. Story for the Ministry of Natural Resources was that the bear climbed up the ladder to his stand. Story he told in the neighbourhood was that he killed it because he could.
