Black bear hunting should…

Black bear hunting should not be legal in Canada. There's no way for hunters to differentiate between male and female bears if there is a spring hunt, risking the orphaning of cubs who are cannot survive without their mother. This is cruel and should not be allowed. Furthermore, there are indirect effects on bear populations from changing the population dynamics, including bear infanticide as younger males step into the territory of the killed older ones, lower survival rates of cubs, and other effects (see article attached).
