There are many non-resident bear hunters who have bought property here to hunt. It was allowed in the regulations, so they went ahead and invested money into land. They pay property tax the same as you and I. They come up here, buy gas, buy booze, go to restaurants, buy fishing licenses, etc. Read more

The proposal in regards to implementing a permanent hunting season for bears should not be passed. Research has indicated that bear populations are already in decline, and regardless of whether or not the hunting is controlled, it will still leave a significant impact on their survival. Read more

I believe that the spring bear hunt should be banned. The spring bear hunt is cruel to bears who are being baited with food shortly after coming out of hibernation. Additionally the spring bear hunt guarantees that female bears will be killed leaving orphaned cubs behind. Read more

Doubling the hunting season for bears will only serve to further ecological damage, weaken biodiversity, and irreparably damage the local wildlife population. Bears serve an irreplaceable role in the environment and contribute to maintaining healthy prey populations. Read more

I'm very opposed to this. There are so many pressures on wildlife with loss of habitat and climate change, forest fires and human sprawl. There is no need for bear hunting. We need to be more sustainable and thoughtful about our resources and what we value. Read more

I strongly opposed the spring bear hunt and I deeply desire that hope and request that the hunt is banned. Canada's wildlife should be viewed with respect, not offered up to sport hunters to kill for their pleasure, even if under the false pretense that the bears are a nuisance. Read more

Please do not reinstate a spring bear hunt. It is unjustified, unnecessary and cruel. We should be exploring ways to protect our land and animals from our own greedy and thoughtless behaviours, not taking the easy way out and simply killing off random animals that seem a nuisance. Read more

The ban was originally put in place for a reason, this is a delicate time in the life cycle. Cubs will be left motherless and this will affect populations. Even if people don't care for the animals themselves, they should recognize the interconnectedness of nature. Read more

I am struck by the fact that in todays age our solution to problems created by man are to kill the animals that are affected by our behaviour and practices. I would implore you to do some brain storming and find a different solution to manage bear populations.
