While hunters and the tourism industry have expressed a desire for certainty on the future of the spring season, I express a desire for certainty of a continued bear population.
So to appease the hunters and tourism industry they should just be told that the provincial government will follow in the footsteps of the former Conservative government under Mike Harris and abolish the unethical Spring Bear Hunt.
Living in Thunder Bay it is a joy to see the bears comes out in the Spring sometimes with their babes.
It is heartbreaking to think that bears after hibernation when they are most vulnerable would be subject to a spring bear hunt regardless of their sex.
Then to bait the bear when it may be ravenous after hibernation to kill it is unethical. What kind of human being would allow this?
The fecundity of bears as you well know is low and the killing of bears only prohibits the killing of females with cubs. Have the bear sanctuaries had an increase of cubs in their care because of the Spring Bear Kill over the last Five years?
When people come visit some say they would like to see a bear, but it is a rarity and a chance encounter when it does happen and most welcome, even if they do take a few apples off the trees.
If people were bear wise, bears are not a problem, the people are!
Hopefully this Conservative government will stop this inhumane killing of bears when they are at their most vulnerable and Stop what the Liberal government re-introduced just for a dollar and some votes.
