Please do NOT allow the Spring bear hunt in Ontario. I recently had a summer job, cleaning up cabins for a fly-in access hunting lodge near Sault Ste. Marie. A group of men from Orillia rented a cabin for a week in the Spring. They had a tag for one bear.
After four days of dragging kitchen compost and old donuts through the forest and hanging it from a tree, they easily shot a bear for ‘sport’.
Upon close examination of the dead bear, it became evident that they had shot a female yearling.
A completely unnecessary and tragic event.
There is absolutely no science to prove that hunting bear for ‘sport’ is an economic factor in the Ontario economy.
Absolutely stop the Spring Bear Hunt.
