Hello, I am an Ontarian who does NOT want bear hunting to be legalized. Ontario should be, in fact, strengthening laws to protect animals. Both in the wild and in captivity (on farms and in zoos etc.) Please do not encourage this activity.

No! Stop making money on deaths! What age are you living in?! Have some common sense and put your energy into prosperity and actual help! Here you are encouraging just destruction and pain. Can't believe that today this ideas are still spearing on such a high level.
DO NOT CHANGE THE EXISTING LAWS. THEY ARE GOING TO MURDER THESE BARS - ARE HUNTERS DO NOT CARE OF THERE ARE BABY BEARS CLOSE BY - THEY WILL PERISH IN A HORRIBLE - MANNER. WHY ARE YOU EVEN COSIDERING A CHANGE - WE VALUE THIS SPECIES AND DO NOT WANT IT DEPLETED,
No, just No. I've seen too many cubs made orphans. The Bears are not the problem, people leaving out garbage etc are the problem. Why do we always jump to killing other species, when we cause the problems?
Please do NOT reinstate this.
Reinstating the Spring bear hunt is a step backwards and makes no sense. If this is being done in the name of ‘tourism’ I implore the government to reassess this idea.

The spring black bear hunt is not a humane idea. As female bears are not always accompanied by their cubs, it is not possible to prevent them from being hunted and from leaving cubs orphaned. I am vehemently opposed to this idea.
re the proposed changes to hunting black bears. We need to be making changes to protect not hunt black bears. Shame on you in this day and age that a proposal like this is even being made.

This article is highly misleading. More cubs are orphaned without the spring bear hunt when the population explodes and more sows are killed on the highway etc.

DO NOT bring back the spring bear hunt! Our tourism revenue can flourish from people who support nature and wildlife instead of the killers whom are out to destroy it.
Bear hunts should be banned entirely. Bears, and other wild animals, have families and deserve a chance to live a normal life, without human threat. Hunting for sport or profit shows how humans lack compassion for life. Please stop it now. Thank you.
What I have to say is simple:
Don’t kill the bears, protect them!
Just think of the consequences of killing them, for one: a death sentence for orphaned cubs.

I oppose the spring bear hunt and believe it should be cancelled again like in 1999 when the Ontario Progressive Conservatives acted on evidence that it "left about 270 orphaned cubs each year. About one-third of the 4,000 bears killed each spring have been female." (link attached)

Unbelievable that hunting and trapping of animals is still being allowed in this day and age just so humans can get their kicks from such an inhumane activity. Strongly oppose any motion that would allow this to go on.

We are proposing to reduce the bear hunting and trapping season to one-week from May 1 to May 7 in WMUs 82A, 83 and 84 (and to close the fall season) to support the long-term sustainability of the local black bear population on the Bruce Peninsula.

To Whom It May Concern,
I think that we should protect our wildlife, not kill it. With global warming, species extinctions don't you think that we should all do our best to keep the environment and all animals safe and protected. If we don't act soon, there will be nothing left to protect.
If, in fact it is true that since the mid-2000s there has been ongoing collaborative research conducted on the black bear population on the Bruce Peninsula and the research indicates that there has been a decline in bear numbers and that human-caused mortality should be reduced to support sustainabi
