I am very opposed to the spring bear hunt. PLEASE RECONSIDER and STOP KILLING OUR WILDLIFE!

There is already a fall bear hunt, & there really is no reason to reintroduce the spring hunt, just when mothers are caring for their offspring.
There is no accurate way a hunter can tell a male bear from a female bear, especially from a distance, since mothers will often forage for food without their cubs in tow.
Shotting a female by "accident" only creates orphans, who will starve or be predated upon if they are not rescued. How horrific to cause such undue harm when we as an intelligent and compassionate province should be exploring and promoting ways to preserve our environment, with all its native flora and fauna.

This is NOT hunting, it's a sport that unnecessarily culls a highly intelligent animal.
The bottom line is all about increased revenue from tag sales & satisfying the whims of the hunting community.
