The vast majority of Ontarians do NOT want the government to reinstate this cruel and unnecessary hunt. The hunting lobby groups pressing for this represent a very small minority of the population. It was a great win when the conservatives ended this hunt. Do not reverse this gain.

The bear hunt is so typical of our human attitude to do with animals as we please without thinking of the human consequences. Not only have we killed 2/3 of our present day mammals and 50% of our birds, we still haven't learned our lesson that without animals (and plants) we cannot survive.

I fully support the continuation of the spring black bear season beyond 2020 for residents and non-residents in all Wildlife Management Units where there is a fall black bear season.

Unlike the previous liberal government the Doug Ford led conservatives committed to creating a system to protect animals.
This in fact was one of the main reasons that I voted for your party.
Apparently animal protection does not apply to wildlife or agricultural animals.

The Canadian black bear population does not need a hunting season or ‘cull’ as the numbers align in terms of black bear to forest population proportionality. Don’t kill black bears and while you’re at it, slow down urban development!
Bear cubs will continue to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent. While it’s currently against the law to kill cubs and mother bears accompanied by cubs, mother bears often leave their cubs in trees when searching for food.

I'll never understand the mean and hateful world we live in and the KILLING and MURDERING of innocent animals. Bears are part of this beautiful planet and have every right to live and thrive as you and I do. So PLEASE STOP MURDERING BEARS!!!!!!!
I agree with various conservation and wildlife groups, such as Ontario Nature and Earthroots, that oppose the proposed return of the spring bear hunt.

Please DO NOT implement a spring black bear hunt. How cruel!!! Bears are just out after long months of hibernation and they are desperate for food. It is sickening and disgusting that psychopathic hunters bait them with food and brutally kill them. Bears need our protection!

I am in favor of reinstalling an Ontario spring bear hunt. It provides benefits for tourist outfitters, local hunters bear population control as well as calf moose mortality.
Thank you
I had no idea any of this was even allowed period. Are you nuts. This should have been banned 50 years ago. Now that I know that Hunting bears is a thing I will make sure many more people know this through all Facebook and other social media outlets. We are not in the 1700’s new upper Canada.

Please do not allow the spring bear hunt to take place. Animals have as much right to be here as we do, and it's so cruel. The poor cubs are orphaned and will die without their mothers.
As a resource-rich, educated province, this seems like a very irresponsible, knee-jerk move for Ontario
Killing bears doesn’t improve human safety...that happens from programs to remove access to garbage and other attractants.
Canada is an animal-loving, conservation-minded country that treasures, defends and protects animals and our environment - at least, that should be the goal.
