I am not a hunter but…

I am not a hunter but consider myself an animal rights advocate.

I think hunting should be restricted to our indigenous peoples only. It may seem radical, but hunting as a sport, for trophy or business (tourism?) purposes is not acceptable. Allowing non-resident land owners is also not acceptable.

As a voter, the only acceptable hunting of bears other than by indigenous peoples, would be a government controlled culling, only if substantiated and required. I don't see anything in your proposal indicating an overpopulation situation.

Having female bears being killed and Cubs unable to survive is cruel.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion.
