Black bears are highly valued and unique members of Ontario’s wildlife heritage, symbols of wilderness, an integral part of a functioning ecosystem, and an important component of Ontario’s biodiversity. As for this very important fact, hunting any Animal should ban completely.

To reopen the spring bear hunt is an extremely bad idea. This was stopped for a very good reason, and this is not why your government was put into power.

I do not support this proposal. The government should be expanding the protection of animals, not enabling the unnecessary killing of innocent species who are engaging in natural behaviour in their natural habitat.

I do not understand why hunting black bears happens in the spring. This leaves orphaned babies who would usually spend their first couple years with their mother. This practice should not be implemented as a regular yearly practice.

I am writing to oppose the proposed change to black bear hunting regulations. A spring hunt is especially inhumane in that it kills mothers just coming out of hibernation and leaves cubs orphaned and destined to die a slow death. The proposal is a movement backwards in time.

Dear Sirs,
Please reject the killing of creatures and in this case bears. There are probably many more human and less cruel ways to control animal population. Animals like us are beings who feel pain. Don't do that please.
I dont believe this should pass. Just because hunters and people in the tourism industry of course would want this to continue, it should not. The poor bear Cubs who lose their parents because of this. When you think of canada, you think of all the beautiful wildlife, including bears.

Please stop the spring bear hunt, we need to stop taking advantage of animals at their weakest and most vulnerable time. I’ve seen hunters wait until the mother turns a corner, no cubs in sight, laugh at the stupidity of the the regulation and knowingly shoot the mother with cubs
I live in rural Ottawa valley where hunting is a big part of the area. My husband hunts deer so we are not opposed to hunting. However, the spring bear hunt is simply put cruel.

I hope that a census is conducted every year to determine the population density of the area where the hunting will take place and only if the area is in excess of it’s carrying capacity of black bears will the hunt commence.

What is the purpose of killing bears other than some perverse pleasure. Bears are beautiful magnificent critters who just want to live. The world is beginning to wake up and take a dim view on trophy hunting. We were meant to be good stewards of this planet, not destroyers of it.
