We (my household in Saugeen Shores, ON) are concerned that the genetically distinct population of bear in the vicinity will be restricted from thriving in their habitat during the hunting seasons, whatever the duration and timing of such a kill season. Please register my disapproval of extending the current Spring hunting rights which are under proposed alteration for anyone that has a permit or has native rights for hunting. Certainly this is not a sport for the tourist nor for the residents of Ontario which I am in favour of supporting through any means. I am not in favour of hunting bear at anytime of the year, nor for culling the population, nor for destroying animals that wander outside of their usual habitat into urban, near urban areas. I am aware that transporting bears is expensive to return them to a suitable habitat. I support transportation costs and want taxes to go to managing transportation to move bears outside of their best habitat to a better habitat but not to spend money on managing hunting season permits etc. Please stop the Spring Hunt of Bear!
