This probably will not even be acknowledged as I did not register, however I do not believe the spring bear hunt should be reinstated permanently. The reason itwas bannedinthe first place still exists.

The spring bear hunt needs to be cancelled, hunters are not respectful of people on trails, and are baiting high traffic areas on recreational trails bringing bears closer to human traveled areas. The restrictions in place are not sufficient or enforced by the Ministry to support human safety.

Hi,
This move will be a step backwards that would endanger bear cubs; too many female bears will be killed and the cubs with them. The spring time is the time when animals are very vulnerable because they come out from hibernation.
And when it will stop ? When all bears will be killed ?

Today I read in the paper that the government is considering making the pilot project on bear hunting permanent. I didn’t even realize the pilot project existed. I strongly encourage the government to cancel the project altogether.

Where is the conservation of wildlife in this decision. Murdering innocent animals just for existing is incomprehensible. Please do not allow hunting of wildlife to become legal or permanent. I beg of you as a true compassionate Canadian
The Spring Bear hunt should never have been brought back--it seems completely immoral, irresponsible and illogical to have a hunt occur in the spring of the year, when bears have just come out of hibernation and/or have cubs.

The last thing we need is another organized hunt. Please leave wildlife alone! Their world is constantly shrinking, and they have just as much of a right to be here as we do.
I am against a spring bear hunt. I believe mother bears with cubs will be killed by accident, leaving cubs to starve or overburdening bear wildlife rehab centres that rely on public donations.
We should be stopping all hunting, not having more. There is zero need for hunting by humans. The justification is often giben that it's for "conservation" or "population control"...BS.

So what are you doing about human over population. You going to allow open hunting on the worst species on the planet. All these animals are not over populated we are!
Call me crazy, but bears are not commodities to be used for economic reasons. They are sentient beings that are worthy of respect and protection. They are not a resource to be "harvested".

I am appalled by the latest proposal to make the spring black bear hunt permanent. Too many animals are put at risk and there isn't enough departmental oversight to ensure that hunters and their 'tour' guides' are ethical.

Having a spring hunt will only ensure young cubs will be orphaned. This will mean young bears will be an even greater nuisance since they will be unable to feed themselves without accessing garbage for food. It is inhumane and idiotic to force bears to suffer for a policy not supported by science.

I would just like to say any proposal to eliminate animals for no reason (not enough science behind those actions) isn’t in the best interests of anyone.
We really should be looking at the reason Why or How we got to this point! NOT arbitrary go and end lives. Fix the why
Ridiculous. We've lost over 60% of wildlife in the last few decades, increasing any kind of hating is outrageous. Spring hunts lead to orphans starving to death, which means the death counts aren't even measurable. What is wrong with you people.

I fully support the return of the Spring bear hunt on a permanent basis. Hunting is the best management tool to manage wildlife populations. It was very easy to see the grievous harm that was caused to the bear population with the initial closing of the season.
