I don't see why this is acceptable. This isn't bear hunting, it's gunning down bears. In 1999 these "hunts" were banned because mother bears were killed leaving cubs alone to die. What has changed since then?
Please don't regress to that time.

I remember when the spring bear hunt w as abolished. It was one of the more progressive moves by an Ontario government. There is no scientific or other basis to reimplement this hunt, other than lobbying by a special interest group.

As an Ontarian, I am deeply opposed to permanently bring back the spring bear hunt. Hunting bears doesn’t improve human safety. Stopping human-bear conflict is achieved by removing access to garbage, barbeques, and other attractants.

As an Ontarian who cherishes wildlife, I urge Ontario legislators to CANCEL the Spring Bear Hunt completely, and to NOT EXPAND the pilot project instituted by previous Liberal governments.

I urge Ontario legislators to cancel the Spring Bear Hunt completely, and to not expand the pilot project instituted by previous Liberal governments. Please, do not follow the misguided plan laid out by previous governments led by another party.

Although I am no longer an Ontario resident - at present - I still have an interest in the hunting regulations and am dismayed that the spring bear hunt may become permanent in Ontario (including
the Bruce Peninsula).

I sincerely urge you to end the spring bear hunt.
There is nothing virtuous about taking joy in needlessly killing and innocent animal minding its own business. What a barbaric practice!

Please suspend the spring bear hunt for ever as it is unnecessary, not in keeping with science and utterly inhumane as it leaves bear cubs to starve. It is horrible to let any being die like that and for what: for the lust to kill.

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.

This is an ill-thought out plan. Just how is one supposed to tell if a female bear has cubs if they are not in the immediate vicinity? I can only imagine the terrible impact this will have on the cubs, and the bear population overall.
i never understood why the hunt was ever opened in the spring...the cubs loose their mother and are left to starve to death...the cubs are not always close to their mother...i understand that we need population control but the spring hunt should not be an option...
I sincerely urge you to end the spring bear hunt.
