No consideration should be…

No consideration should be given to this idea without better protection for female bears and cubs. Financial penalties are not a sufficient deterent, as 10, 000 is not even a quarter of days pay for some in our society. Prison time, of a significant length (10 to 20 years) for killing female bears or cubs is the only way I could see this being in any way feasible. Short of that move, there is no need to reinstate the hunt.
