I am not in favour of allowing a spring bear hunt. Hunting of animals while they are reproducing is cruel and unnecessary. Hunting bears in the spring results in many orphaned cubs who are doomed to suffer and die without their mother as hunters can not always tell a sow from a boar. I also understand that bears are ‘hunted’ through the use of bait. This is a very sad situation when this activity is considered a sport.
Surely there are better ways to develop the economy in the north than sacrificing the lives of our animals.
This is a shameful practice and should not be made permanent.
