I am vehemently opposed to…

I am vehemently opposed to reinstating the spring bear hunt for the following reasons:
1. Baiting hungry bears and waiting in camouflaged blinds to cut them down is not a sport but a slaughter.
2. Females with cubs are inadvertently killed. These cubs will either suffer a horrible death from starvation or will be killed by predators.
3. Even if a female is mistakenly or knowingly killed, the law is virtually unenforceable unless the hunter decides to voluntary report. Good luck with that!
4. Wildlife already face a myriad of threats to their survival most notably habitat loss and climate change. So called "sport hunting" like this only exacerbates these threats.

The Ford government should not be catering to the hunting lobby but listen to the majority of Ontarians who oppose the spring bear hunt.
