This should not be happening…

This should not be happening in this day and age. How can any self respecting “conservationist” endorse a spring hunt that leaves cubs to starve. Hunters are not qualified or interested in distinguishing a mother bear, they are only there to “bag” a bear.
I have read on multiple occasions that due to budget cuts, that the Ministry doesn’t have sufficient manpower to accurately estimate numbers of moose or bears or other wildlife. The reports of being “over-run” by bears are usually sent by people in northern communities who, here’s a shock, will benefit greatly by an influx of hunters to their communities.
This is cruel and short-sighted.
