To whom it may concern,

There is absolutely no legitimate reason to bring back the spring bear hunt, which was banned decades ago without issue. The vast majority of Ontarians if asked would NOT be in favour of bringing the spring bear hunt, so clearly the only reason why it is being tabled is to once again appease the handful of lobbyists who have this government's ear.

Once again, this government has exhibited nothing but disdain and ignorance towards nature and the environment by tabling completely unnecessary Bills (Bill 108) or regressive regulations that have created an open season on every species in this province. The spring bear hunt was banned for a reason - there is no realistic way for any hunter to differentiate between a male bear and female passing through and avoid shooting a female with cubs, leaving the orphaned cubs to starve to death. It's a cruel, barbaric and completely unnecessary practice that has no place in Ontario in 2020.

Stop living in the past and stop governing on behalf of your buddies. This government represents ALL of Ontario, not your personal financial supporters.
