Spring bear hunts will lead to mother bears and their cubs dying. I support Mike Macintosh of Bear With Us sanctuary arguments to stop Spring bear hunts. He sees and deals with the aftermath.
The government must make an acknowledgement that a spring bear hunt is not about community safety as originally stated in 2014 in the face of their own evidence showing it does not impact human conflict with bears; education and enforcement of human behaviour, attractants and feeding will have the g

In this new decade it's appalling that killing for pleasure still exists. There are virtual games that provide an outlet for this aggression. Live, innocent animals should not lose their lives for base, narcissistic pleasure.

As far as I am concerned there should not be a spring bear hunt at all. It puts all bears at risk for when they emerge from hibernation they are in a very vulnerable state. After hibernating for so many months they are ravenous and will do anything to feed.

NO! NO to the Ontario spring bear hunt!!!
This could result in more cubs being orphaned, upsetting ecosystems, creating wildlife conflict etc.
This is wrong! Please, protect cubs and other bears from an unscientific and inhumane hunt!
While I do not feel that hunting is appropriate at all, if this must proceed, the spring season should be much later than May 1st to give the cubs a chance. It should not start until at least June. Then the hunting should be restricted to male bears only and not mothers with cubs.

Under the Ontario Progressive Conservatives once more, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is proposing that the spring black bear hunting season be made permanent. I DO NOT BELIEVE that we should be hunting bears ever, much less in the spring when female bears are with their cubs.

any bear hunt that leaves baby bears to slowly starve to death, while clinging to a dead mother or left in a den crying until they die, is just plain cruel and wrong---
I am very much against your black bear hunting. This will result in more orphaned bear cubs, more wildlife conflict, more harm to ecosystems, and more risks to people.

As a concerned citizen, I am TOTALLY OPPOSED to reinstating the spring bear hunt. It is CRUEL and INHUMANE to prey on bears as they emerge from hibernation. It has been shown that it is difficult to discern female bears from males.

I totally disagree with allowing a Spring Hunt as well as a Fall Hunt. Too many problems can occur, such as mother bears being shot because they have tucked their little ones away for safety while they forage for food, meaning death for the cubs.

I oppose bear hunting: period.
Baiting is disgusting, obscene and unethical. It should not be allowed.
The use of hounds/dogs to chase, tree and/or otherwise harass bears is cruel, barbaric and unethical. It should be immediately halted.
