I suggest that the Ministry refrain from implementing any change to the season dates on the heels of the questionable change in baiting distances. This would allow an assessment of the impact of the latter before committing to a change for the former. Read more

It has been 15 years since the Mike Harris Conservative government cancelled the spring bear hunt. The reasons for cancelling it at that time are the same reasons that apply today.

It means a lot to me to live in a province where people show compassion towards other species who cannot speak for themselves. With this particular issue, the ban on hunting black bears is one such instance of compassion. I strongly request that your government does not change this ban.

In spring, sows foraging for food to feed new born cubs become targets for hunters leaving orphans to starve in their dens waiting for a mother who will never return. Or the besr that is injured not killed and escapes only tovdie in excruciating pain Read more
