I would urge the Government to abandon their proposal to re-install the Spring bear hunt in Ont. Bear hunting is immoral and unethical in that the bears are lured to spots where they can be shot - -hardly worthy of the word 'sport'. Since mother bears leave their cubs in the bush while foraging the hunters are unlikely to know what they are shooting, leaving abandoned bear cubs to starve - a long and painful death. Is this what we are really about in Ontario in the year 2020? I would have thought that we would have more compassion for other creatures who share our planet.

This also goes for the Fall bear hunt too. Luring animals to their death is not 'sport' in the full sense of the word. Sport should be an even playing field.
