Stop bear hunting now, please! As someone who used to work in Ontario’s Missinaibi Park I saw firsthand the perils our Black bears face. Competing for limited food and habitat and poachers even back in my ranger days, I know these threats have only increased. And I also know that bear population numbers are always grossly exaggerated based on human assumptions about bear habits. But in times of climate and wilderness fluctuations how do you assess habits of wildlife?
Furthermore, bear hunts are cruel - destroying families and wildlife inherited knowledge - you steal lives and survival every time you kill a black bear.
Furthermore - hunters take the largest bears - which is bad for the genetics - the bear hunt is not natural, ethical or sustainable.
Please stop it now altogether and give our wildlife a fighting chance at survival.
Thank you!
