I completely disagree with this proposal to increase the number of animals who can be hunted in Ontario. We are in the midst of an absolutely horrendous environmental crisis defined by climate change and loss of biodiversity. I cannot begin to understand how our Government can overlook the crucial point that, without wildlife and the environment upon which it depends, humans would cease to exist. The environmental services that the natural world and its animal inhabitants provide are so profound that they can rarely be quantified. Hunting, unless for subsistence living, should be banned altogether as it is simply an activity defined by needless death of innocent animals. I believe you will have a great deal backlash if you move forward with this motion as I know many people who agree with me.
