The spring bear hunt is one…

The spring bear hunt is one of the most barbaric and unethical practices that we as so called superior beings allow to happen.
As a wildlife research scientist I have had many years of experience with black bears in northern Ontario. The thought that female bears with cubs will not be shot is outright ridiculous. I know for a fact females are shot here in the spring even though they have cubs. Enforcement does not exist here.
"The black bear population is healthy in Ontario", we are told. Well we were told the moose population was fine but now there are very few if any in our wildlife management area, yet they still sell licences to kill off the few remaining moose. The M.N.R supposedly did moose population counts and look what happened. The black bear population numbers is just a guess at best. No actual or factual information on their numbers is available at least that I am aware of. However, numbers do not really matter unless it is dollars in someones pocket, who cares about the black bear. Lets just kill it into extinction without even finding out how many there are first. Money and politics dictates which wildlife animals will pay the price.
There are all kinds of excuses to continue this sadistic practice of killing bears; they are a nuisance,
they are dangerous, they are in my yard, they eat my garbage, but these are just reasons used to support the real motive. Black bears are killed just because one group in our society can not let go of their Neanderthal ways. Shooting black bears for sport or any animal for that matter is sadistic. If you need to hunt for food to survive, that is another story.
Someone who enjoys killing our wildlife, yes it belongs to all of us should do a self evaluation. If you cannot enjoy our wilderness and the creatures that belong there without always killing something. "What is wrong with you?"
I live in northern Ontario and every year I enjoy Gods great wilderness without killing, and I do not need to carry a gun while I am in the forest. I was a hunter of moose since our family needed it to survive, but now there are none.
The spring bear hunt should not take place. Female bears come out of their den just as early as male bears. This I know for a fact.
The Black bear population will be destroyed if there is not more enforcement. The truth is black bears are killed here illegally and no one cares because it is being done by "so called trappers" or rural homeowners who shoot and shut up.
So how many black bears were killed here in 2019? Who knows?
The Black bear deserves our respect and protection before it is to late. I like my wildlife alive, not mounted and stuffed just because one person says so.
