I am totally opposed to bringing back the spring bear hunt. AS A MODERN, PROGRESSIVE, EDUCATED SOCIETY are we so foolish to bring back the spring hunt when we very well know that there are possibilities that bear cubs could be left orphaned and left to die a slow death from starvation? Are we too morally blind to realize that? Sows do not go around in the spring carrying placards. They leave their cubs in brush or up trees as they go foraging for food, sometimes to baiting stations. The risk of killing sows who have cubs is too great to justify bringing this immoral hunt back.
Bears are primarily vegetarians and rarely do male bears kill cubs. They are also not responsible for the decline in moose populations. Climate change, clear cutting and logging, aerial spraying, failure to establishing a moratorium on hunting are some of the main reasons for declining moose populations. These are some negative propaganda that pro hunting groups are using to justify bringing back the hunt.
We can achieve more economic benefit by establishing eco tourism which includes wildlife watching. We need to have advertisement campaign in Europe and Asia and we will be able to attract a lot of tourism which will bring money and help conserve the wilderness and wildlife we have that many countries have lost. The spring bear hunt is immoral, unethical and cruel and not befitting of a progressive and educated society. I hope the Provincial government will do the right thing and abolish it and not fall prey to making this into a political pawn.
