I would like to express my strong opposition to the proposed changes to black bear hunting regulations. There is a lack of evidence to support the requirement for these proposed changes.
The government presents no strong arguments or evidence of any kind to support this proposal. It is stated that the economic consequences are “expected to be neutral to positive” – though no information is provided to support even that feeble claim. It is highly unlikely that there would be any big financial impact. Moreover, by allowing these regulatory changes, hunters will inevitably kill mother bears which will result in the death of orphaned Cubs who are unable to survive through their youth. This will in the long run impact bear populations.
