In this lifetime, we are to…

In this lifetime, we are to progress, move forward, and teach good values to our children. This proposal does none of this. What it does do, is undue the growth of our thinking, undue the teaching tò our children to have empathy for all living beings, and turn us toward being barbarians, once again, with no care to our fellow peoples. Yes, peoples. Animal people are like you, and me. Only different in form, and voice. Because they do not speak our language does not make them less of a person, and scapegoats to take rage out upon. They feel love, sadness, pain, joy, family values, and especially empathy. Which of your family members would you like to have killed? None, that is how many. These wildlife are only trying to survive, like anyone one of us. We have pushed them out of their territories, more every day. It is not their doing. It is ours. We are to preserve our planet, and have been put in charge of keeping it healthy, safe, and a place where all can live in peace, as well as, flourish. We were growing towards this goal at a steady pace, but have faltered in the last few decades, and want to, for whatever reason, go backwards. These animal people do not want to die. It is nothing less of having a gun put to your head, and begging for your life, as you have young ones you want to see grow up, teach them survival tactics, and love your extended families. To open up killing of our innocent, once again, has no rhyme, or reason, to it. Only greed, to get them out of the way, so as to then put more destruction of our country, and world, opened up to raping it of its natural resources. We go into the little bit of homeland these beings have left, and are killed, as history have taught these wildlife people, not to trust humans. One person dies, the bear gets hunted, and killed, yet we slaughter whole family units, plus more, and the uneducated get high fives. It this what we have become? Killing machines. Please stop this from passing through legislature.

The following has bern taken from context to speaking on this matter:

Bear cubs will continue to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent. While it’s currently against the law to kill cubs and mother bears accompanied by cubs, mother bears often leave their cubs in trees when searching for food. If a mother is killed, her cubs will likely die slowly of starvation or be eaten by predators.
Hunting bears doesn’t improve human safety. Stopping human-bear conflict is achieved by removing access to garbage, barbeques, and other attractants.
Bears have low reproduction rates, meaning the survival of adult females is vital for the species.
The government has disclosed a need to reduce black bear hunting in Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula due to population concerns, yet it is simultaneously proposing to allow the hunting and trapping of these bears in that region for one week each spring. This is irresponsible.
Even the economic argument for allowing the hunt is weak. The government has said the economic impact would be neutral or positive, but has provided no evidence to support this claim.
