Wildlife already has so many challenges humans have given them, with climate change and urban sprawl. There is no reason why hunting the animals is needed, so this should not be allowed.
I am 100% against the Spring Bear Hunt. In case you need a reminder, this is now the 21st century. We need not return to out-moded, destructive and clearly flawed ways of thinking about "wildlife management." We are currently well-immersed in the 6th mass extinction.

I totally agree with having an ongoing spring bear hunt.
It only makes sense to harvest animals when both pelts and meat can be used,and as everyone knows management of a valuable resource like bears is extremely important for the overall health of the herd.

As has been said and I most wholeheartedly agree:
“ However, opponents highlight another MNRF research study published the same year showing hunters had a hard time differentiating female and male bears.

Spring hunts of black bears can kill mother bears, leaving orphaned cubs to fend for themselves. Some cubs are only a few months old and still nursing or are yearlings who are still dependent for another few months. Most orphaned cubs suffer from starvation, predation or exposure.

As someone who works at a wildlife rehabilitation centre, I see the effects of humans on wildlife on a daily basis. In addition to personally witnessing the devastating impacts we have on other species, the science is clear that wildlife populations across species are in decline.

#1 - Save the bears! Have some very limited hunting if it must happen. But please keep it very limited. The bears are an important part of the food chain in nature. Don't mess with the perfect balance of nature.
As a teacher I have had the opportunity to meet a variety of biologists with a variety of interests. They have spent many hours explaining to my students the importance of protecting the environment and animals.

I do not believe that bears should be hunted, especially not in spring. They emerge from their dens weak and hungry after a long winter of fasting and sleeping, therefore they are at a disadvantage. The female bears may have young who depend upon her for their survival.

I don't agree with a Spring bear hunt. The bear population isn't out of control and too many Cubs are orphaned because hunters can recognize the difference between male and female . Bears aren't generally hunted for meat.

I am opposed to the spring bear hunt. I don’t believe that hunters can effectively distinguish between males and females with cubs and, as has occurred in the past, bear cubs will be cruelly and unnecessarily orphaned.

In response to extending the spring season pilot program permanently, it would be wrong to do so, as it confers little to no benefit environmentally, or economically, as addressed in the proposal document itself.

I strongly opposes reintroducing the spring bear hunt. I live in Haliburton and haven't seen a bear in two years, used to see them very frequently. Hi hi
Eco tourism is such a great opportunity for Ontario. As everyone becomes more environmentally conscious tourists are looking for more outdoor activities. Ontario has so much to offer in attracting foreign tourists.
