I think it is cruel and unnecessary to allow a spring bear hunt, when female bears are raising and nursing cubs. Although the proposed law makes it illegal to shoot female bears with cubs, mistakes will happen and cubs will be orphaned and most will starve to death. Read more

As a resident of Ontario, I ask that you cancel the spring black bear hunt this year and all future years. Please leave these animals alone. We have already taken over so much of their habitat. If they are problematic you can trap and rehome them to another area. Thank you.

I do not support a spring bear hunt, please consider cancelling it permanently. A hunter cannot differentiate between a male or female bear, the killing of a mother bear would leave the cubs abandoned and induce immense suffering to them. Please cancel the spring bear hunt. Thank you

I believe that the spring bear hunt should be banned in all areas. There is no way a hunter can tell the difference between a female or male bear. Females are out in the spring, forging for food and their young are left helpless, awaiting their return. Read more

I have bear hunted in Ontario since 2002 and the first six years or so I hunted with different outfitters and my problem is my work makes it hard to schedule and I am limited to six days and I like to spend more time in the woods than that so I bought land and have enjoyed the hunt ever since.

I am totally against the spring bear hunt as it orphans bear cubs, who will subsequently die a horrible death due to starvation. It is not possible for hunters to distinguish between male and females bears at a safe distance. I also am against the baiting of bears or the use of dogs in hunting. Read more

It seems to be a no brainer if scientists are indicating we have a decline in bear population. If one of the reasons given is human caused mortality, it makes no sense to encourage more hunting on the Peninsula. The peninsula was a well kept secret for a long time but no longer. Read more

How dare you think you have the right to organize a cold blooded kill like this! These animals have every right to walk this earth and feel safe. What about their babies? You should be ashamed! Stop this please!!! Listen to the people who are begging you for their right to live!!!
