It is too difficult for hunters to distinguish between mother bears and ones who are not. Cubs orphaned during the spring are not likely to survive.

The bear hunt MUST be stopped.
This is beyond cruelty or necessity.
These are sentient beings. They have souls. They feel pain. They have families.
There is no need to allow this hunt to proceed. It’s murder in cold blood and needs to be stopped for good.
Please reconsider your proposal for a Spring Bear Hunt. This is a cruel time of the year to hunt. Will orphaned babies be left to die? Or...who will rehab the orphaned babies? This kind of act is not what Canada wants to be known for. Stop this action now.

A spring bear hunt is cruel and inhumane in light of hunters not distinguishing between a male and a female bear. Will undoubtedly lead to orphaned cubs and the death toll will climb. And these orphaned cubs will suffer in the process.
Please reconsider and disallow the spring black bear hunt. The only sure way to prevent cubs from being potentially orphaned is to ban spring hunting. Hunters may fail to make the distinction between male and female targets. Please ban this hunting practice, as previously.

Please do NOT implement the spring hunt on black bears! I fear many cubs will die as orphans when hunters fail to differentiate between female and male bears as it is difficult to tell the difference.
This is such a bad idea. Hunters cannot be reasonably expected to identify female bears from a football field away. Please do not pass this bill. This is trophy hunting not needed for food or clothing, a hide hanging on a wall. No different than killing an elephant or rhino.
Human over-population, even in Canada, has exert conspicuous effects on Climate change, now there are pressure enough on the ecosystems and their natural species... To addition this kind of barbaric cruel unnecessary practices.
Hunters often fail to make a distinction between male and female black bears, often orphaning their babies who are too young to survive on their own. I support a full ban on bear hunting. I implore you to understand these are sentient beings who do not deserve to die.

1. I am happy steps are being taken to protect the bear population in the Bruce Peninsula.
2. I do not support commercial bear hunting, and I wish you would use the word “kill” instead of “harvest”. It seems dishonest; they are bears, not cucumbers.

As it is difficult for the sex of a black bear to be determined, how are hunters going to ensure that they don’t kill female bears? Until this is solved, I don’t support hunting black bears.
If you're looking to control the bear population PLEASE don't do it by killing them! Please find another more ethical solution...capturing baby female cubs, spaying them and the relaxing them back. This is more costly but more humane.

I would like to support a ban against the spring hunt of both male and female bears. I don’t see the need to take the risk of orphaning cubs for the sheer pleasure of hunting these animals.

There is no need to reopen the spring black bear hunt, unless this government wants to prove once again that they are backwards thinking and unable to create new and productive policies.
