I'm writing to you in regards to black bear hunting in Ontario.
I'm truly appalled, saddened and disgusted that our province is suggesting to make the annual spring black bear hunt a permanent right in Ontario. I'm hoping you can address this issue. It is cruel and many negative issues that go along with the hunt.

Hunters often struggle and make mistakes between male and female bears in risking killing a mother bear during spring season - orphaning her cubs who are too young to survive.
Although there is a ban on killing mother bears and cubs, hunters fail to make the distinction in too many cases.
With the world being an utter mess, we must be better than this. We must show respect, compassion and humanity and abolish such an unnecessary cruel "sport" and
"economic need" isn't enough to warrant the negative impact on the species.

Just because it may be legal, it does not make it right!

I hope you can find it in your heart to speak up for the animals.

Respectfully,
