Please do not continue the permanent hunting of bears. Bear cubs are at increased risk of being orphaned as mother bears often leave their cubs in trees when searching for food leaving them defenseless to starvation or predators if she is killed while foraging. This will severely impact the reproduction rates of the bear population if there are less adult females. Population issues are already occurring such as in the Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula region.

Decreasing conflict between bears and humans is more effectively achieved by targeting access to garbage and barbeques.

The spring bear hunt needs to continue being banned for the safety of the this species survival.

Thank you.
