Once again the OFAH and its…

Once again the OFAH and its allies in the business of killing wildlife (e.g. John Kaplanis, executive-director of the Northwestern Ontario Sportsmen's Alliance and Ford appointed chair of the Big Game Management Advisory Committee) have their Wish List approved by this outrageous government proposal.

Baiting of Black Bears 30 m from a road !! Disgusting !!
There should be NO baiting of Black Bears or any Wildlife anywhere.
Killers will be able to stay warm and dry in their vehicle and shoot Black Bears in comfort. Absurd !
Females with cubs will be killed.
Cubs will die from starvation or other causes but the Fordite government and the OFAH and business allies couldn't care less.

“The anticipated environmental consequences of the proposal are expected to be neutral.”
Really ? Prove it. Make public any studies that support this statement.

“The anticipated economic consequences of the proposals are expected to be neutral [sic] to positive. Continuing the spring season as a regular annual season beyond 2020 will provide certainty of continued hunting and trapping opportunities and related economic benefits. The proposed changes to remove special opportunities for non-resident landowners and immediate relatives will redistribute those opportunities to licensed operators resulting in additional economic opportunities for businesses.”

From the Black Bear Management framework:

3.0 Black Bear management goal:

“The goal of Ontario’s black bear management program is to ensure sustainable black bear populations across the landscape and the ecosystems on which they rely for the continuous provision of ecological, cultural, and optimal economic and social benefits for the people of Ontario.”

It appears the most important point in this statement is “economic”. The rest is included for appearance only i.e. “window dressing.”

It's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for outfitters and the environment and wildlife are irrelevant.
