I live in a rural area of Ontario and enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounds me every day and that includes black bears. I am very concerned about the proposal to allow spring bear hunts again. It is inevitable that bear cubs will to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent. Read more

The hunt causes orphans who are then also at risk of survival. Read more
