The governments should not bring back the spring bear hunt. This hunt is to benefit hunters and the tourism industry. This is a death sentence for the bears and their orphaned cubs.

"Black bear populations are vulnerable to over-harvest because they are a long-lived animal, reach sexual maturity relatively late in life, have a low reproductive rate that is physiologically dependent upon environmental conditions (food), and are most sensitive to changes in adult survival, particularly survival of adult females."
