I am very much against bringing back the bear hunt. All the same reasons that applied to stopping it in the first place still apply, I am so concerned that we are prepared to ignore those at this point and re-open the hunt.
Hunters cannot easily distinguish between female and male bears, therefore females with vulnerable cubs will be injured and killed. Babies will die a slow, inhumane and unnecessary death.
Bears will be injured and suffer.
There is not a problem with bears being over abundant.
There exist so many and ever-increasing challenges for bears currently - climate change and shrinking habitats to name a couple. They are part of our precious eco-system that we are failing on so many fronts. Why add removing an important predator/plant eater to the list of horrible mistakes humans are making?
There is absolutely no necessity for people to go out and kill bears. There is debatable economic benefit (likely none) and who cares if causes unnecessary suffering to bears and damage to our environment. In this day of urgent ecological circumstance on so many fronts, why would we even consider supporting this?
