I oppose the reinstatement…

I oppose the reinstatement of the spring bear hunt in Ontario. This puts female bears at risk, leaving orphaned cubs vulnerable. I oppose the permission of baiting and use of hunting dogs to disrupt animal habitats. This will negatively impact the bear population and is detrimental to our ecosystem.

Please provide reports with information showing impact on safety and long term effects on our fragile and finite ecosystem. Please commission more studies on the viability of alternative ways to generate revenue such as ecotourism and other non violent forms of recreation that can be experienced by the greater public.

Thank you.
