hello
I am strongly against the proposal to make the bear spring hunt permanent. It would be cruel and tarnish Ontario's image for tourism.
Females with cubs must be protected. This is very difficult as cubs are often treed or kept away by their mother while she looks for food. To protect female bears and their cubs, the current season of May 1 to June 15 needs to be changed to June 1 - June 30.
Baiting should not be allowed. In addition, the use of dogs to chase and harass bears should not be allowed.
A report first needs to be created and released to the public on the impact of a spring bear hunt on other recreationalists’ safety. Bear hunters in the spring make up a very small percentage of people enjoying the outdoors in Ontario. Also, another report should be created and released to the public on efforts of the Ontario government to increase availability of non-consumptive ecotourism opportunities in the province alongside the limited spring bear hunt.
thank you
