Years ago the people of Ontario worked with Robert Schad of Huskey to BAN this spring hunt. Schad thought this hunt was an atrocity leaving bear cubs orphaned and unable to care for themselves, or before they learnt behavior from their mothers how to find food. These cubs made MORE interaction with humans as they tried to find food sources.
In this age when wildlife is in peril all over the world, this hunt is especially pernicious. We need our bears ALIVE and healthy NOT shot for some peoples limited agendas. These bears are NOT the property of the people in their area. The bears were already there. People moved in!
ALL people enjoy going to and vacationing in the natural environment in their areas. Lodges and camps with associated small business service opportunities, field guides etc. would benefit ALL Ontarians and not just the limited few in the hunting circle.
These days people are into living with and in their lands choosing wildlife to watch and enjoy. VERY FEW hunt nowadays, so no way is this archaic business of HUNTING a long-term sustainable solution for any type of employment. Many cubs will also perish and this will lead to too few bears! This hunting approach has for sure a DEAD END!
