The Spring Bear hunt is unnecessary and environmentally damaging. With human encroachment increasing; canned hunts/baited hunts, we are seeing a steady decline in our Ontario native species. We live in Black Bear territory, which has been greatly reduced. Read more

I di not support the spring bear hunt. There are too many Cubs beingorphaned and left to die to justify the reinstatement. Most hunters to not take the time to properly identify the bears they are shooting at and nursing mothers are killed as a result. Read more

I object to reinstating the spring bear hunt because in spite of regulations, female bears will be killed and cubs will be orphaned. Hunters can not always tell if a female has cubs and in addition there are an insufficient number of MNR officers to enforce the laws. Read more

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. Read more

I would like to feel confident that the management of wildlife in Ontario is adequately studied and cull (killing animals that have been attracted deliberately to “bait” such as doughnuts and sweet cereals, should never be referred to as HUNTING) limits are monitored and supported with solid eviden Read more

I do not think we need a spring bear hunt, actually any hunt for bears at all. they are a miracle of evolution and should be preserved. just look to australia, we need to protect as much wildlife as possible not treat animals as a way to cash in on the environment.

This case should never be reopened. There is no science or explanation for it. Perhaps it would appeal to the tail-gating yo-hos that think shooting a mother bear is fun. This province needs to update their hunting laws entirely, including the use of humane trapping and other hunting gear. Read more
