Females with cubs must be protected; currently that is difficult as cubs are frequently treed or kept away by their mother while she forages.
The government must make an acknowledgement that a spring bear hunt is not about community safety as originally stated in 2014 in the face of its own evidence. Education and enforcement of human behaviour, attractants and feeding will have the greatest impact on mitigating and preventing conflict.
The use of hounds/dogs to chase, tree and/or otherwise harass bears should be immediately halted.
The current season of May 1 to June 15 should be changed to June 1 to June 30 to protect females with cubs as well as the cubs themselves.
Baiting should not take place. This will also protect recreationalists, drivers, property owners, pets and others from bait piles that attract wildlife.
