I am totally against this attempt to reinstate such a cruel and pointless hunt. There is no reason for it...in fact it is primarily a trophy hunt, which is always immoral. Why does the Ford government support killing Ontario wildlife under these circumstances?

Worse, it is difficult for hunters to tell the sex of the bear they have chosen to kill. We are all aware that female bears often sequester their young cubs while foraging, or the cubs may indeed be present but the trophy hunter doesn’t see them until it’s too late. This leaves the cubs to die a slow death from starvation/desiccation. That’s the main reason the spring hunt was banned in the first place: it causes great suffering for cubs. Duh!
