We are in the midst of the sixth species mass extinction and our wildlife needs us more than ever. Saving the animals and all biodiversity is critical to existing on this planet. Hunting bears or any other wildlife should not even be considered for any reason, let alone for profit and sport. Read more

Hunting of Black Bears for sport is absolutely unnecessary, and there will always be those who will profit off of their deaths (gallbladders etc for traditional Chinese medicine proven to have no medicinal benefits). Bears are very misunderstood. Read more

Please do not continue the spring bear hunt. Hunting animals with young is wrong and you know it. Listen to the science. Follow the science. Stop pandering to politicians and special interest groups. Do the right thing and make hunting bears in the spring illegal.

Killing for sport is sadistic. There has to be something wrong with you to enjoy this sort of thing, and governments should not be in the business of allowing it. If someone enjoys playing around with guns, target shooting at inanimate objects should suffice. Read more

Please do not proceed with this spring bear hunt. Black bear populations in the wild already have a difficult time due to habitat loss, polluted environments, encroaching human habitats, climate change impacts, rogue poaching, loss of natural food availability. Read more

Why would there be a proposal that goes backwards instead of forwards? How can a person look at a beautiful black bear and only see dollar signs? Ontario's wildlife should be PROTECTED not killed!! Enough is enough. Find your conscience and your compassion - it is there hidden somewhere. Read more

I do not support the reintroduction of the Spring Bear Hunt for the following reasons: While Ontario is the natural territory of black bears, it is also home to a growing population of humans and their expanding settlements, which bring them into occasional contact with those bears. Read more

These poor innocent Bears deserve every right to live. If you bring back the spring hunt, which I am totally against, Mother Bears will be killed and their babies will die a slow death by starvation or be killed by a pack of wolves/coyotes. This is just insane. Read more

I have been a non resident land owner from the US for 17 years. This would cause me to longer visit the Echo Bay area for black bear hunting. I use local lodging, grocery stores, restaurants and LCBO. If this change takes place I will start hunting black bear in Michigan again. Thanks Read more

I am totally against spring black bear hunting altogether. There are too many mother bears killed while foraging for their young. You are then left with lots of orphan cubs who are left very vulnerable. We need to save wildlife and not destroy the natural ecosystem. Read more

The Spring Bear hunt is unnecessary and inhumane. It puts Momma bears on edge and leads to them being accidentally shot as is evidenced by all the orphan bear cubs at wildlife animal rescues. Having one hunt per year is enough and shows a balance between the animal lovers and the avid hunters. Read more

As a non-resident landowner I sincerely ask that you do not make it so that I cannot hunt our own property without a bear guide because if that's the case we will have no choice but to put our property up for sale because we're not going to spend an additional $1,500 a year on top of taxes, fuel and Read more
