I am a self admitted animal lover, I have a little 5 year old black pug named Rosie and 3 cats, I also feed 2 feral cats that someone dropped off, and give them shelter in my garage.

I am saddened to read that the wildlife of Ontario is so threatened. orphaned cubs are unlikely to survive or if they do they will lack skills and end up in garbage dumps. Hopefully sanity will prevail. The potential dollars from tourism is very Important .

I totally support the Fur Bearers idea for protecting the mothers and cubs and believe the seasons should be shortened. We have just lost over a billion animals and birds in Australia. Some leading to the extinction of the species.

As a hunter in the past I am strongly against spring bear hunt...one of a few unethical aspects plaguing REAL hunters community. Let the vulnerable, still dizzy and hungry after hibernation recover fully and in peace...Thank you.
please do not support a spring bear hunt. bears have it hard enough without said hunt. we need to protect these creatures, or eventually we will only see them in zoos.

To whom it may concern, I feel this hunt should be stopped. It’s in humane and there is no scientific data to support these hunts. Cubs are left to die without their mother or are killed to by unscrupulous trophy or parts hunters. Our wildlife and eco systems have proven to take care of themselves.

Being a Canadian, I am disgusted with the backwoods redneck mentality of the Ontario government. Killing bears is just a cruel despicable evil! Do the right thing Ontario, stop this bill before it's too late!

We are all invoved, we shouldn't think, 'only' those, who kill and hurt on site, are guilty.
They are God's Creatures.
And we shall not kill and hurt, but show compassion and care.

We are in a time of crisis. Our world has just lost over a billion species in Australia alone and the devastation continues to spread across our world. Mass flooding, earthquakes, tsunami warnings are currently in effect and happening.

I am a resident of Ontario and would like to register my strong opposition to the ERO's proposed changes to black bear hunting regulations which, in effect, would turn what started out as a two-year pilot into a permanent event.

There should not be a spring bear hunt at all in Ontario. Wildlife populations are suffering due to hunting. If the purpose of the bear hunt is to encourage the moose population to grow, there should be stricter regulations on moose hunting, and not the allowance of bear hunting instead.

What would possess the government to do this is beyond me. The experts assert this is bad for cubs and the fragile ecosystem. We've interfered with the environment enough. Leave it alone.
I do not support this at all
I am amazed that this is even being considered. Black bears need our help now more than ever, they don't need another hunting season inflicted on them. Mothers coming out of hibernation need to care for their young, teach them how to fend for themselves and to find enough wood to feed them all.

The spring bear hunt interferes with the natural order of nature. It triggers a chain of changes that are not sufficiently understood to be able to adequately assess the risks.

If there is not an issue with the black bear population killing and taking human lives due to over population or scarcity of food, then why can't we just leave them to be in nature as they are intended to be. Once per year should be sufficient to keep the balance.

How about you just ban/stop hunting of all Black Bears? Surely the market for shooting a bear is very small by now and why would you even choose to associate yourself with the killing of Black Bears?
