In addition to the cruelty…

In addition to the cruelty of hunting, hunters often have trouble distinguishing nursing mother bears and cubs are often orphaned before they can survive on their own. Nobody needs a bear head trophy, this is 2020 and we should be evolving to the reality that wildlife and our natural world are suffering from our actions. Why not preserve what and who we have left? Killing is not the solution to any issue.

Living in the country i have seen two black bears years apart that suffered from gunshot injuries. One had her elbow shot; she couldn’t walk or forage properly and was found dead nearby a few days later. Imagine dying like that.

Given technological advances, conclusive research collected about bears and their behaviour, a spring bear hunt has become completely unacceptable. Honestly, i’m not sure why any spring hunting of anyone is acceptable since there is such a high possibility of orphans.
