We should definitely not…

We should definitely not reinstate the spring bear hunt on a permanent basis. To do so because it is lucrative for the government or because it supports tourism is a grave mistake. It is impossible to tell a male from a female bear at a distance. Female mother bears are being killed in error which results in the death of her cubs. It’s not rocket science to realize that this will result in a decline of the black bear population over time. We have seen a drastic decline in the black bear population on the Bruce Peninsula where there should be NO BEAR HUNTING ALLOWED!

We have watched so many animal populations decline in recent years due to loss of habitat. We’ve over-fished many areas in Canada partially due to sport fishing. We need to respect our natural environment and preserve what is left. Allowing bear hunting for recreational purposes is just wrong. Tourists come to Canada to see our beautiful scenery and wildlife. Will they come if there’s none left?
