Hi The spring bear hunt…

Hi

The spring bear hunt should really not be reinstated. In a time of climate fluctuation and environmental degradation, our goal should be to preserve not to eliminate essential components of the delicate ecosystems we have already rocked out of balance. In addition, bear baiting is not real hunting. Putting a garbage can out in a forest conditions bears to continue to seek out human food sources and raid garbage cans. This puts bears in danger of being killed via interactions with humans.

In addition, during the spring bear hunts, it is almost impossible to distinguish between male and female bears. Nursing bears are at great risk of being killed and while there is a penalty, it is practically impossible to enforce. Cubs will starve and die without a mother. If the top predators of an ecosystem are wiped out by our irresponsible hunting practices, we have sabotaged ourselves and our children.

Please choose to protect our future,

Thank you,
Jamie
