I am deeply concerned about…

I am deeply concerned about spring bear hunts in Ontario, especially on the Bruce Peninsula.
Generally speaking, my first issue is that it is hard to tell a female bear from a male bear. If a female with cubs is killed the cubs will die.
On the Peninsula, the bear population is small, genetically unique and faces extreme habitat issues. Having a spring bear hunt further threatens these animals. Since the Peninsula is still home to black bears, we need to protect and conserve these bears. They are part of our natural heritage and the only place in southern Ontario where they are still hanging on, a place where there’s still a little bit of “ wild” left.
Please reconsider the spring bear hunt.
