To Whom it May Concern,
I live in black bear country and I strongly oppose the spring bear hunt. This has been a political tool by various government to win favour with outfitters. The north, as it has existed, is rapidly changing due to clear cutting of forests, mining activity and other human activity. Climate change is challenging wildlife in ways we do not fully understand. Black bears, like other wildlife have enough to contend with, and should not be subjected to another spring hunt, especially when the sows have cubs. There is no need for us to manage wildlife, contrary to the opinion of those who hunt or profit from the hunt. Wildlife manages itself quite well and actually better when humans do not interfere.

I implore you to reconsider this proposal. No spring bear hunt. Let them be.
Thank you.
