Hunting black bears in Ontario, is not only is environmentally wrong and dangerous, but cruel. Spring is when many animals, including black bears, awake from hibernation. Often times with newborn cubs. When you kill a sow, her cubs are left alone, while still nursing. Read more

I am writing to oppose bringing back the spring bear hunt in Ontario. Killing animals for "sport" and tourism is wrong and is taking a step back from progress. Not to mention the death and suffering orphaned bear cubs will endure when their mothers dont come back. Read more

I am against this proposal. The MInistry of Natural Resources should not be depending on the majority of its income coming from hunting licenses. It appears that the hunting of wildlife is the mandate and not the protection of wildlife. Read more

Animals are not our for the killing. We do not have the right to their bodies just because we want them. Canada most be protecting all of its species indiscriminately. Hunting it's barbaric. And a barbaric Canada is not the Canada I want to live in.

It is inhumane to hunt bears in the spring when they have just come out of hibernation and trying to hunt for food. It is also cruel and leaves the baby bears vulnerable as little orphans without their moms. Please ban any and all spring bear hunts. Read more

NO SPRING BEAR HUNT this barbaric hunt should not be allowed to take place. Bear cubs should have the the right to grow up with their mothers and not be orphaned and left to starve to death because a human being gets pleasure out of murdering a defenseless animal. Read more

Canada already has a really bad reputation for its treatment of animals, bringing back the spring bear hunt to benefit hunters and the tourism industry will mean a death sentence for the female bears you kill & their orphaned cubs. Read more

I am strongly opposed to bear hunting, and I respectfully ask you to put a complete end to this practice. Euphemisms like "harvesting" and "bear management" may sound more acceptable to some, but the truth is that the bear hunt is the slaughter of innocent animals who deserve our protection. Read more
