I would like to begin this…

I would like to begin this comment with information about myself, I am a 25 year old adult who is legally allowed to vote and do so on election days. I believe in democracy and everyone having a voice.
I disagree with the proposed changes, for the following reasons:

- it is difficult, if not impossible for hunters to distinguish between male and female bears. Specialists have difficulties determining male to female without the comparison being readily available.

- the issues that prompted the original cancellation have not been resolved in any way shape or form.

- even though the goverment ensures the population is healthy they do not have a very good record in regards to wildlife conservation

- reasons cited for making the hunt permanent seem mainly economic, which is a very dangerous basis for any wildlife management policy. These animals should not be looked at as money makers.

- ophaned cubs when their mothers are killed inevitably also die. With this idea in mind it is crucial to realize if the cubs cannot grow to adulthood their populations will continue to drastically decrease until they become endangered in those regions.

Please rethink the reasons these bans were put into place initally as it was done with a valid purpose.
