The expansion of the bear…

The expansion of the bear hunt, whether it be a Spring hunt or otherwise is archaic.
A Spring hunt is guaranteed to orphan cubs as hunters will admit the inability to identify a female from a male and the females often move about without their cubs. So this hunt has the potential to have a double or triple the impact as you could possibly kill a female and up to three cubs who will die a slow and horrible death.

It is also being discussed to continue to have even a week long hunt on the Bruce Peninsula where there is a documented decline of black bears. This is beyond comprehension! If the local economy cannot withstand a moratorium on hunting to help the numbers improve, what will that economy do when they are all gone? With just over 300 bears locally, the numbers are not there to sustain a hunt- period.

Think people.
