Here in Northern Ontario, we…

Here in Northern Ontario, we never had a problem with bears, and only on rare occasions did we see any of them. They would break into campers occasionally, or could be seen at land fill sites, but never in town. The lodges outside of town thrived because the bear hunters were around in the spring and the fall, and made use of the lodges and restaurants. Because the restaurants and lodges were open, people from town would also drive out there for meals or the occasional night at a lodge. Once they cancelled the spring bear hunt, it wasn't too long before the wilderness lodges started going out of business, and once well known restaurants closed down. After a few years, we started having bear sightings in the town, and now, after so many years, the bears come into town and walk the streets. Bears have been found close to schools, and no one can go out walking and feeling safe as they never know when they will run into a bear (or more). This absolutely shows that the bear population got out of hand when left to its own devices. The population is large, and the food supply can't keep them fed, so they come into town. Then, to add insult to injury, the MNR stopped coming out to bear calls in the towns and cities. They need to have the spring bear hunt back and KEPT GOING for all time! The human population shouldn't have to fear for themselves and their children and pets, because bears are overrunning the streets of towns and cities. It's now started to show a bit down south, so "now" finally, the powers that be, who probably all live down south, are realizing what a threat the bears can become, if left to continue to overbreed and overpopulate.
