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.

Please do not open spring hunting on black bears. It is too difficult to distinguish male and female bears, which puts mother bears at risk either during pregnancy or when they have cubs to care for. Thank you.
I totally disagree with spring bear hunt. Will humans not stop until we kill off every species on the planet but ourselves? We are a species that is more dangerous then any bear, coyote or wolf! We are a species that rapes the earth of everything for our personal gain.

Why are you doing this? What about the orphans with no mother. Who is lobbying for this change. Ontario’s wildlife means nothing to this province. Tourism killing. You should be ashamed.😡😡😡
I am concerned about the direction the OMNRF is proposing for the Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula black bear population and urge the OMNRF to abandon both the fall and the spring bear hunt on the Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula.

I believe that a ban on spring bear hunting is needed. Please continue this practice. Hunters can not distinguish the difference between male and female bears at a distance and risk orphaning cubs.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sad to hear the Ontario government is caving to hunters crying about wanting the spring bear hunt back. I live in bear country. Bears are not a nuisance. The hunters are the nuisance.

Studies by Parks Canada and Dr. Martyn Obbard, formerly with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, show black bears on the Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula are in- danger of extinction within the next fifty years. The study estimates there are approximately 100-316 bears on the peninsula.

I think that there is only one reason for killing any living thing: survival. So unless bears are attacking you or some other living being, or you plan to eat it’s flesh, or it’s numbers are over-running the safety of your home or neighborhood, leave the animal alone.

Please do not bring back the Spring bear hunt. It’s cruel and barbaric. Especially during the time mother bears are caring for their young. Leave our precious bears alone.

I do not support the proposal.
I do not understand why hunting in this day and age remains to be a sport.
Compared to sightings in my youth, black bears on the Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula are greatly diminished.

There is no valid reason to reinstate the spring bear hunt. Bears are not a problem if we respect them and don't interfere with them. We who choose to live in bear country are very fortunate to share a beautiful environment.
