Please stop the spring bear hunt!

There is no way to ensure that mother cubs will not be killed in the hunt, which will thereby orphan any bear cubs who were left behind while the mother looks for food. If the mother is killed, the cubs will slowly die of starvation or be killed by predators.

Hunting bears doesn’t improve human safety. Stopping human-bear conflict is achieved by removing access to garbage, barbeques, and other attractants.

Bears have low reproduction rates, meaning the survival of adult females is vital for the species. There is no logical or proven economic reason for hunting.

Ontario - please be responsible and stop this hunt!
