These hunts do not serve us…

These hunts do not serve us and leave motherless cubs to inadequately fend for themselves.
I vehemently oppose this because:
1. There is NO evidence that a spring bear hunt will reduce the number of “problem bears”

2. Shooting bears in the spring, when they are vulnerable, hungry, and still have dependent cubs, is unethical.

3. Education, and changing human behavior is the only way proven to reduce negative interactions with bears. Shooting bears is not the answer.

This is not a public safety issue, but rather an attempt at gaining hunt tourist dollars and it's disgusting how the government is misrepresenting the matter. There have been far more canine attack related deaths in Ontario than fatal bear attacks.
We need better strategies for encouraging tourism - strategies that don't invite killers into our communities. Statistics show that people who delight at killing animals often move on to human victims
