It is wrong for many reasons .. these are some of them which many of us post and feel regarding this horrid hunting of Bears!

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, barbecues, 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.

The killing is cruel and just plain wrong and as a civilized society .. we need to learn to stop all our answers with animals by killing them..
