I am against the spring bear being permanent or temporary. It is not necessary to have Spring Bear Hunt at all. It is enough of shooting and killing for money and sport, as well as food. There is enough to eat including loads of healthy plant-based options such as legumes, grains, starches, fruit, vegetables in abundance without killing animals which is primarily for sport and money. The money this supposedly bring in will just be partly spent on enforcement and monitoring, administration costs. The best solution is to listen to the majority of Canadians who are against the Spring Bear Hunt every year and put an end to the Spring Bear Hunt. It is treacherous to allow this killing, the animals don't need to be culled. They are living in the Wild in nature, humans shouldn't go and follow them in there under the guise of doing a service. There are mother bears and cubs, male bears it is impossible for adrenaline filled, possibly alcohol filled people to exercise correct judgement in who they shoot and conservation officers can't be everywhere. This costs more money than it gets, if you want tourism then go do another activity and take hike or go find another activity do a real sport like soccer or volleyball and not killing. Canadians don't want to be living in places which promotes, encourages and fosters killers who in turn are living amongst us and are conditioned to be violent as Government support them, so they as a result are excused to kill by the authority figures which is supposed to protect Canadians and Wildlife instead of creating and encouraging killers. I think we are out of the old century and in a new century where animal abuse, killing shouldn't be increasing and is not the norm. It is outrageous that the government is constantly coming up with new ways and ideas to kill more wildlife I think this is getting old and it would be a breath of fresh air to see the government and ministry of wildlife to get with the times and stop the killing. This is not normal and makes me ashamed to be Canadian. It's embarrassing when the public outcry against these actions to kill is in the majority and the ministry follows a minority few hunters and those who profit from it and not the majority against these actions, it seems the message is it's easy to kill and eliminate rather than find a Canadian, peaceful solution and get with the times. There is no excuse today to kill for any reason and definitely not this Spring Bear Hunt it must be permanently stopped. It is psychopathic and disgusting that it is being allowed.
