I oppose bear hunting: period.

Baiting is disgusting, obscene and unethical. It should not be allowed.

The use of hounds/dogs to chase, tree and/or otherwise harass bears is cruel, barbaric and unethical. It should be immediately halted.

Bear hunting is done for "fun." It's not done for "community safety." The government's own evidence shows 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 created and released 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 alongside the limited spring bear hunt.
