To allow this bear hunt…

To allow this bear hunt after 18 years is wrong, to kill mother bears with cubs is despicable. The government is playing right into the hands of hunters who have no concerns over conservation, bears play a role in the ecosystem, and they have the right to live freely . To allow this to happen is playing into the hands of a group of voters who only care about one thing " Killing" There has to be a more humane way to control bears without killing them. Killing has become far to easy, relocating is a far better way to go. This is nothing but a blood sport and we need to shut it down. Wildlife is under siege to allow bear cubs to starve to death is a cruel and barbaric act. To allow hunters to shoot bears in their dens is another barbaric act. When governments do too much to satisfy lobbyists, like those that promote pro-hunting commercial interests, it’s no guarantee that they will win or keep power. Most Ontarians do not hunt, nor do they support sport hunting. Most Ontarians want our public lands to be free of violence.
I urge Ontario Progressive Conservative Party legislators to follow the example provided by former Premier Mike Harris and Minister John Snobelen, when they courageously resisted pressure from hunting lobbyists, a group that does not represent the majority of Ontarians.
