The Ontario government needs…

The Ontario government needs to cancel the Spring Bear Hunt. The vast majority of Ontarians do not support this hunt or hunting in general. There certainly aren't too many bears and, in some parts of the province like the Bruce Peninsula, there are declining numbers. In the case of bears on the Bruce Peninsula their genetically isolated population is already at risk.

Spring bear hunts also result in mothers with dependent cubs being killed leaving the orphaned cubs to die. Cancelling the Spring Bear Hunt in 1999 was the correct and ethical thing to do then and it is the right thing to do now.
