Please do not proceed with this spring bear hunt. Black bear populations in the wild already have a difficult time due to habitat loss, polluted environments, encroaching human habitats, climate change impacts, rogue poaching, loss of natural food availability. Almost all these threats are human-iduced. These bears do not need the added threat of gun fire, which aside from death can cause pain and fear and orphaned bear cubs that would otherwise have little chance of survival.
The vast majority of Canadians have voted for stronger protections for animals and this bear hunt is a step in the wrong direction.
Thank you.
