Females with cubs must be protected. Cubs are frequently treed or kept away by their mother while she forages.
Evidence as to the accomplishments and milestones of the pilot project and the extended pilot project (not the original strategy written before the hunts) needs to be released to the public.
Information showing an increase in enforcement capability through funding, infrastructure and boots-on-the-ground hires of conservation officers should be made available.
The government must make an acknowledgement that a spring bear hunt is not about community safety as originally stated in 2014 in the face of their own evidence showing it does not impact human conflict with bears; education and enforcement of human behaviour, attractants and feeding will have the greatest impact on mitigating and preventing conflict.
A report should be made on the impact of a spring bear hunt on other recreationalists’ safety, freedom to explore, and expectations, as bear hunters in the spring make up a very small percentage of people enjoying the outdoors in Ontario.
A report should be created and released on efforts of the Ontario government to increase availability of non-consumptive ecotourism opportunities in the province.
The use of hounds/dogs to chase, tree and/or otherwise harass bears should be immediately halted. Baiting should be forbidden.
