DO NOT allow the reinstitution of the spring bear " hunt". DO NOT cave in to a loud minority of yahoos who get off on watching another die horribly. DO NOT allow all the untold cubs to die of starvation because their mother's head became a trophy collecting dust for some idiot's wall.
DO consider the decision by your PC predecessors to stop the hunt back in 1999.
Don't let the vocal minority spew the same old rhetoric about "nuisance" bears (it is the expanding human growth that is the nuisance, robbing these majestic creatures of their habitat).
DO NOT allow biased biologists to add weight to the argument.
I was in Pickle Lake a few years ago and spoke to a native police officer who told me that he had shot a black bear and is still haunted by it's death; "It cried like a baby".
My Ontario is disappearing. Please don't accelerate it's demise.
