I think a spring bear hunt is an insane idea! Cubs are born in spring and I can only imagine the horrible deaths that some of them might have to endure if their mother is killed. Slow starvation in their den, waiting for her to come home. Who's bright idea was this?????? Read more

To those who support any bear hunt i.e. because bears are coming too close to residential areas etc ... please remember who was there first. We humans are relentlessly encroaching on THEIR territory. We humans are polluting their waters. We humans remain at the root cause of all the world ills. Read more

Greetings, The spring bear hunt should be banned because the risk to orphan cubs is unacceptable - period. While I am not a hunter, I have family and friends that do hunt, and even they believe the spring bear hunt is cruel for that exact reason. Read more

Years ago the people of Ontario worked with Robert Schad of Huskey to BAN this spring hunt. Schad thought this hunt was an atrocity leaving bear cubs orphaned and unable to care for themselves, or before they learnt behavior from their mothers how to find food. Read more

DO NOT open the spring bear hunt. This misguided proposal is not based on scientific evidence and depends upon hunters determining the sex of the bears before shooting them so as not to cause orphan cubs. This is not an acceptable way of allowing hunting.

There should be no further extension for bear hunting in the spring. It would leave too many orphaned cubs in the countryside and that is not good environmentally. There are few wildlife sancturies and each one is trying hard to keep going. Read more
