Hell NO! Are we literally moving backwards as Canadians when it comes to animal rights and wildlife protection?!!
As an animal right activist and a proud Canadian, I can't imagine that happening in my own country while we are working hard to end animal abuse in 3rd world countries!!

I am very angry to see that the spring bear hunt might become a permanent hunt, because even a shorter one is Cruel and Heartless!. There are many Mother Bears who will just have had their Cubs who will no doubt be Killed and their Cubs left Orphaned!. What a Cruel and Insensitive hunt!!.

It is unethical to all hunting of bears with cubs. Since hunters often cannot determine male from female bears this damage is inevitable with hunting. This does nothing to reduce problem bears except to reduce overall numbers. It is a backward step.
This is a very necessary action, I applaud the government for recognizing the need for this regulation change, in a period when we are increasing black bear hunting opportunities across the province.

I support the return of the spring black bear hunt as proposed in the ERO number 019-1112 posting. Here are the main reasons why I support this hunt.

Good job! I like the changes
I live on the Bruce Peninsula and believe these new regulations will help sustain the black bears for next generation.
Thank you.
There is no doubt the Black Bear population has decreased significantly over the past decade, a fact which has been determined through the Barbed Wire Trap Study.

There is no need to open the spring bear hunt! We should not be needlessly killing mother bears and leaving their young to starve or to predation! This is absolutely barbaric! If you have to hunt - hunt something you plan to eat! Hunting for sport is cruel and inhumane.

I do not support the spring bear hunt or the timing of it because there is no protection for female bears with cubs. There is a lot of misinformation about the danger of bears but what's really dangerous is the hunter.

A full implementation would only bring positive benefits to anyone who resides in bear country. It creates economic benefit, especially in the remoter north where many outfitters relied on the income.

I as an avid environmentalist I fully support reinstating the spring black bear hunt. The hunt was cancelled in 1999 by Mike Harris and the PC government of the day for no other reason then political pressure they received from animal rights groups.

Killing is not conservation and the history of hunting seasons on all wildlife every where have proven to be disastrous. The minority of people that receive joy from killing animals have more rights for opinions on non scientific basis for promoting hunting season.

I would question the science suggesting that the current genetic and/or geographic isolation & decline of the Bruce Peninsula population warrants closing the fall hunt.
