I greatly appreciate your choice to follow hard science and allow the continued harvest of this species during the spring. We are seeing more and more black bear in our wmu 62 and providing additional opportunities for hunters can only encourage the use of this fantastic resource.

An unacceptable proposal. With a declining black bear population, this proposal states that it would result in a "neutral environmental consequences". I expect better from the MNRF. Your job is to protect our environmental and natural resources.

Im writing in favour of the spring bear hunt. I also hope it stays for a very long time as I live in WMU 21A where the bear population is over crowded. Every year in spring and throughout the summer bears come right onto ppls property and run havoc to garbages and destroying garages.

Hunting of any kind of bears in the spring is a horrific and devastating decision. This is when mother bears are giving birth to or raising their cubs. This is a horrible thing to do when we are just recovering from having their numbers to put this in place and to allow dogs is a terrible idea.

I am very much opposed to reinstating the spring bear hunt. It is an inhumane practice to pursue and stress these animals when they are emerging from winter hibernation.

Please don’t allow this and set our country back. Animals are already so vulnerable to the many ways we use them. Let us choose the compassionate option when we are able to.

No spring bear hunt please this is when the females are with cubs and should not be hunted. Why can’t humans let nature takes its course there is no reason for the hunting of our wild animals
The bear killing is senseless and leaves orphans to die a slow agonizing death. What decade is this? Why do we still want to permit 'sport' killing of ANY sentient being? This must NOT be allowed!
I live in Beamsville, Ontario and I find this extremely upsetting and makes me really angry. DO NOT ALLOW THIS IN ONTARIO I love my animals and all nature should be allowed to live.

How terribly disappointing and devastating act on innocent animals. The biggest concern to the entire society is sophisticated, unethical cruelty to the living creature. Those who are allowing this terrible, barbarian crime are unfitted for their position and should be evaluated.

TO The MNR of Ontario
The spring black bear hunt season should NOT be implemented for the following reasons:
Black bears are the only big game species with dependent young who are hunted in the spring.

Totally and completely against bringing this back.
It makes me ashamed as a human being that in a supposed civilized culture that we would even consider such a barbaric act.
We can do better.
Do not let this pass. While beautiful, these bears are an intrinsic piece of the ecology of the area. Just so, hunting is a mainstream, respected sport--but there is no benefit to killing these bears, other than for the sake of adornment and the accomplishment itself.
How can you tell the difference betwen a male or female bear, at a distance?
Unless the female has cubs with her, or the bear is standing on its hind legs and you can see the genitals how can you tell the difference?

I would just like to express my 100% approval for the reinstatement of the spring bear hunt.
Now if we could just get the deer season in southern Ontario to open on a Saturday. Instead of a Monday so kids do not have to miss school and adults do not have to take time off of work.
