I can't fathom why a bear…

I can't fathom why a bear hunt should exist to begin with. The murder of these beautiful creatures is abhorrent. Furthermore,the use of hounds/dogs to chase, tree and/or otherwise harass bears should be immediately halted. Many cubs die a horrible death because their mothers are not sufficiently protected. I thought that we were better than this. Ontario could set a precedent by banning bear hunts for the rest of the country to follow.
