I’m writing in regards to ERO 019-1112.
I disagree with proposals to extend the Spring bear hunt, or even have it at all. It’s far too difficult to tell the difference between male and females at a distance, and the risk of mis-identifying is too great. Orphaned cubs then raised by humans become more likely to not be afraid of humans, putting them at risk of increased conflict with humans. It’s a vicious cycle, all for the sake of a trophy. Please stop the Spring bear hunt.
