The hunting of black bears,…

The hunting of black bears, especially in the spring, should not be looked at as a "boon for the province's economy and tourism sector", as stated by John Yakabuski. Hunting of any species should NEVER be driven by purely economic interests, especially here in Canada, where we are considered a
"civilized nation".
It's bad enough that things like this (trophy hunting) happens in Africa and other countries that only look at the money that this ugly sport brings; must we lower ourselves and set a bad example for these nations ?
Also, it has been proven that it is very difficult for hunters to distinguish between male and female bears, thus allowing mothers to be shot and cubs to be orphaned !
Shameful that this is even being considered !!!

STOP THE BEAR HUNT !!!!
