Killing an animal for recreation is absolutely appalling. Not only does it suggest that non-human beings have no value in and of themselves, but it also sends a clear message to future generations that killing a fellow living being is acceptable.

There is absolutely no reason for this hunt to be allowed. These animals have just come out of a very deep sleep to find food and care for their cubs that have been born.

I am opposed to any hunting of black bears on the Bruce Peninsula. It is a small population and I would not want to see this species eradicated from our area.

Please shorten the hunting season. As a cottage, i have seen killed bears with their cubs hovering nearby —- cubs who I’m not trained to help and will likely die.
Please.
I have been a game hunter for many years but I do not support the bear hunt.
It is pointless.
Hunting for sustenance is understandable but killing for the sake of killing is murder.
We know there is increased interest in the sport of hunting... wolves, coyotes, bears.. facilitated by our federal government. Please draw the line at this event that cannot be justified in the slightest.
Again, killing bears, animals, water supply...the list is endless. We no longer live in harmony with mother nature, we tempt her hand and its only a matter of time before we pay heavily for the lack of respect we pay to wildlife, nature and natural resources.

Please show compassion to bears. 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.

Absolutely NO! Bear cubs are born in January and need their mother for 18 months. Humans have family and all other animals have family too. Please STOP the Spring Bear Hunt. Wild animals are part of our community and need our protection. They grieve at loss of life too.

Please try to make one thing this government does be progressive. Your being attacked for education cuts and many other issues. Do this one thing right. Embrace conservation and the environment and reinstate a law that made sense 20 years ago and still does.
End the spring bear hunt!!!
I have lived in Northwestern Ontario since 1974 and am married to a man who was born in Northwestern Ontario. We have three sons and two grandchildren. None of us are bear hunters.

I don't understand why there is any hunting for black bears period. The cubs need their mothers. Why can we not live with that? They are not looking to interfere with our lives. We cause all the disruption.

My husband and I are completely opposed to the reinstatement of the spring bear hunt in Ontario. This year alone, the over one billion animals have been lost in the Amazonian forest and Australian bush fires alone, and before that countless others died in the Alberta, BC, and Ontario forest fires.

This proposal is very unfair you shouldn’t have even used the The word fairness in your proposal a fair deal would be an equal deal between two parties that are involved the outfitters and the non-resident landowners this proposal is completely one sided to the outfitters you have not made an equal

Stop the Spring Bear Hunt
I have lived in Northern Ontario all my life and do not agree with the spring bear hunt. It is a cruel sport that is falsely portrayed as a method of population control – which the scientific facts do not support!!

I totally disagree with the spring beat hint. I live in Muskoka and actually in the bush and I get a lot of bears in the spring with their cubs..you tell me how a hunter can distinguish the difference.
