This proposed black bear…

This proposed black bear spring hunt extension to become permanent is vague and under researched. Where are the numbers that show the affect this pilot has had on the black bear numbers (which within your proposals says that the numbers have been in decline) and what affect it has had on the ecology of the area. Ontario has been cutting back essential wildlife and environmental protections and this is unacceptable. Spring and fall black bear hunting is almost the full year. This pilot was cancelled because too many people were accidentally killing mothers with cubs. This needs to be taken more seriously than just the whims of the pro hunter agenda.
