I oppose a spring hunting season for black bears because it will be detrimental to the black bear population and biodiversity in Ontario.

Hunters are often unable to distinguish between male and female bears. An unavoidable consequence of a spring hunting season will be vulnerable cubs left to die when their mothers are killed. This will impact the black bear population more broadly - shooting one bear could be equivalent to removing 3 from the population/gene pool (if cubs are impacted).
