In my opinion, all of our Wildlife is under so much threat and decline, due to habitat loss, everywhere in Canada, including Black Bear territory. Therefore I feel it is wrong to permanently bring back the spring Black Bear Hunt. However, for Indigenous that require Bear to provide for them as they always have, I think they should have that right. But for those that hunt for sport and those that cannot or would not take the time to recognize a male vs female, when on the hunt, this should not be allowed. This would mean that there would be many who would not qualify to hunt. You can not tell me that some one intent on shooting and killing a Black Bear, in the heat of the moment, when the Bear is spotted and in their sights, is going to say, hold on a minute here... this bear looks smaller, oh I can't shoot her, she might have Cubs somewhere. Come on, you really believe that will happen. No way! Ontario Government should be concerned with protecting all Species, as they are at increased risks every day, not just from Hunters, but from Habitat loss, as mentioned before, scarcity of food, and most importantly Climate Change. Everything needs to be done to protect the Wildlife we have, not destroy it.
