The government has disclosed a need to reduce black bear hunting in Saugeen-Bruce Peninsula due to population concerns, yet it is simultaneously proposing to allow the hunting and trapping of these bears in that region for one week each spring. This is irresponsible. Read more

•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. Read more

I am strongly opposed to the spring black bear hunt. I used to volunteer at a wildlife rehab centre outside of Huntsville and have seen firsthand the effect of a spring bear hunt. When the spring bear hunt was in place, there would be 30 - 45 orphaned cubs brought in. Read more

There is no evidence that the spring bear hunt improves human safety. Advocates for the hunt often argue it will reduce human-bear conflict, but time and again studies have shown that the spring bear hunt does not improve human safety. Read more
