I strongly oppose the proposal to expand spring bear hunt. Most hunters are unable to tell the difference between male and female bears, and the spring hunt will likely result in the killing of mother bears. This will leave cubs orphaned and result in their deaths.

My brother and I farm around the Sunderland area in the Region of Durham. We farm as far north as Woodville and as far south as Manchester. For many years now the bear damage in our corn fields has been increasing. We see damage every year and this past season was the worst. Read more

Canada should be striving to become more humane, not falling back into baiting bears, using dogs and hunting females with cubs. Hunting should be a thing of the past like slavery. And don’t use so called public safety as an excuse for some crazy individuals to kill with official approval.

This is the last straw. I am sickened to know that the Ontario government would even suggest to bring back the spring bear hunt -- and to do this permanently? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. Not only is bear hunting cruel and inhumane, but it is a death sentence for orphaned cubs. Read more
