I am a life-long resident of Ontario and I believe the spring bear hunt should be abolished.
A bear hunt in the spring is too early in the year. Mother bears roam at that time of of year in search of food for the cubs, while the cubs are hidden in the trees, sometimes up to a kilometre away. As a result, hunters kill mother bears, leaving the cubs abandoned and left to starve to death.
It should also be noted that the bear hunt will not reduce nuisance bear issues. Research shows that the spring bear hunt will not help reduce human-bear conflicts. Misinformation has been spread about bears leading to an increased fear towards bears. Bear attacks are extremely rare. Educating the public with truthful, factual information about bears is greatly needed. More Conservation Officers in this province are needed to help with education and enforcement.
