I am completely against a spring bear hunt because, as we all know, it results in orphaned cubs who usually die a slow death without their mother. It is impossible for even responsible hunters (and many are anything but responsible) to be sure that they are not killing a female animal.

Quite apart from that, when bears are killed it is often done for no appropriate reason: they are not used as food animals and so what you have here is a basically a trophy hunt. That is by definition immoral. It is killing for the sake of it, which is absolutely sick. These hunters are not hunting primarily to feed their families...they are doing it for egotistical reasons, to make them feel important or powerful, and so they can brag to their buddies.

Why would we even consider causing such unnecessary fear and suffering to wild animals in order to pander to a very small minority of Ontarians who are ethically challenged? Most people in the province are against trophy hunting, but you would never know it based on the position of the Ford government.
