We live in Thunder Bay along…

We live in Thunder Bay along the Kaministiquia River. Bears travel the River Banks in all seasons. They do not "threaten" us and we welcome their foraging passage through their ancestral lands. Even our huge Malamute, NOT on a leash, watches them shuffle by in silence. Has Ontario not heard that the numbers of PLANET's Animal populations are frighteningly diminishing? Some say more than 50%. WHY do we continue to serve special interest groups, Hunters, who cannot rationalize their pleistocene wants, and the need to kill..."kill" yes- sitting in blinds, drinking beer, baiting recently woken Bears with tins of Duncan Hines cake icing and stale donuts. The thought and writing to you today about this- makes me physically ill. This practice of killing or trapping ANY animal belongs in the stone age. Many human beings have moved on, Please set an example in governance.
