The spring bear hunt is a cruel and morally unacceptable event that is opposed by a majority of Ontarians. Although killing mothers who are accompanied by their cubs is illegal, many female nursing bears are killed while away from their cubs and many illegal killings go undetected. This is completely objectionable and the spring bear hunt should not continue because of the risk of orphaning bear cubs. Black bears are not overpopulated in Ontario and there is no scientific rationale for a spring bear hunt. The reality is that the spring bear hunt is being pushed by trophy hunters and pro-trophy hunting organizations that wish to profit off more bear hunting. This is unacceptable and I will not be supporting this government any longer if it proceeds with making the spring bear hunt permanent.
