• Females with cubs must be protected.
• Current season should be changed to June 1 - 30 to protect females and cubs.
• Evidence as to accomplishments and milestones of the pilot project and extended pilot project need to be released to the public.
• Baiting should not take place.
• Information showing an increase in enforcement capability 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; 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, as bear hunters in the spring make up a tiny percentage of people enjoying the outdoors in Ontario.
• The use of dogs to chase, tree and/or otherwise harass bears should be immediately halted.
