Comment
For the following reasons, it is unacceptable to resume the spring bear hunt:
Most hunters are non-residents who hunt by baiting bears
Many hunters at bait stations are unable to distinguish between male and female bears;
Female bears are killed, including nursing mothers
Orphaned cubs – about five to six months old and typically weighing about five kilograms – starve to death or are killed by other predators
Despite the threat of large fines, regulations prohibiting the killing of females accompanied by cubs are unenforceable.
Please do not proceed with this incredibly irresponsible legislation.
