REINSTATING THE SPRING BEAR…

REINSTATING THE SPRING BEAR HUNT AFTER MORE THAN 15 YEARS IS A REGRESSIVE MOVE THAT IGNORES SCIENCE, AND, PUBLIC SENTIMENT!

Ontario's black bears need our help! Our family is spending a few minutes to help by lending our voices in defense of vulnerable, unsuspecting, innocent bears!

Our family has until February 18, 2020 to speak out for bears on the "Environmental Registry of Ontario"!

This is our essential way to register opposition to the "Spring Bear Hunt"!

My family and I implore the Ontario government to cancel the province's Spring Bear Hunt completely There was no legitimate rationale for partial reinstatement of the spring bear hunt by the previous government, and, there is none now! Please, do not follow through with this misguided cruel plan!

Most Ontarians do not hunt, nor do they support sport hunting! In fact, most Ontarians want our public lands to be free of violence!

And, the erroneous suggestion, by some, that black bears are becoming too numerous, or, that they pose any kind of elevated danger to humans, is baseless, and, not supported by evidence!

We urge the Ontario government to follow the lead of former Premier, Mike Harris, who put aside the special interests of hunting lobbyists, in favor of following the science, and, the views, of the majority of Ontarians!

A modern province can develop a better tourism plan than inviting non-resident sport hunters who enjoy killing wildlife, animals who have no hope of escape, onto our mutually owned public lands! Ontario’s forests belong to all of us, not just to the businesses, and, organizations, that profit by the killing of our wild animals!
