To Whom It May Concern,
I am strongly imploring you to reconsider the proposed spring black bear hunt. It is too risky for the female bears to be killed, leaving defenceless cubs to starve and die.
There is no need for this.
Thank you.
Why do we need to allow anyone to kill black bears or any wild animal??????????
WHY!!!
Why do we feel, as human beings, we feel we can decide what lives and dies in the wild.

I am against hunting bears during the spring breeding season. It is too difficult to tell the difference between males and females and we risk orphaning cubs who are too young to survive.
Hunters often struggle to pinpoint the difference between a male and female black bear, and risk killing a mother bear during the spring season – orphaning her cubs who are too young to survive on their own.

There were good reasons for ending the annual Black Bear hunt in Ontario. There is no need for anyone to shoot these bears. That's a pretty simple concept. Bears play an important part in our ecosystem and when man interferes we learn quickly what a mistake that is.

Obviously the bear population can support a harvest. I see no reason why the bear hunt (spring and fall) shouldn't continue on a permanent basis.

This measure is completely unnecessary, and frankly outrageous. The decision to open "black bear season" flies in the face of reputable science, as well as public opinion.

There is no good reason to reinstate the spring bear hunt. Residents of northern Ontario who hunt for food have always done this in the fall.

Please do NOT allow the Spring bear hunt in Ontario. I recently had a summer job, cleaning up cabins for a fly-in access hunting lodge near Sault Ste. Marie. A group of men from Orillia rented a cabin for a week in the Spring. They had a tag for one bear.

There should be no spring bear hunt - it is in humane. Hunters often struggle to pinpoint the difference between a male and female black bear, and risk killing a mother bear during the spring season – orphaning her cubs who are too young to survive on their own.
I am strongly against reinstituting the spring black bear hunt on a permanent basis. It is well known that cubs are unintentionally orphaned by hunters in the spring.
If a bear hunt is deemed necessary, a limited autumn hunt should suffice.

I am deeply concerned about spring bear hunts in Ontario, especially on the Bruce Peninsula.
Generally speaking, my first issue is that it is hard to tell a female bear from a male bear. If a female with cubs is killed the cubs will die.

I fully support the continuation of the Spring black bear hunt beyond 2020 for residents and non-residents in all WMU where there is a fall black bear season

Please do not reinstate the spring bear hunt in Ontario. It will cause a greater problem with orphaned bear cubs needing help and infiltrating human environments.
In a world where we are currently facing unsustainable habitat loss, climate catastrophes, and the anhiliation of thousands of species worldwide, humans continue to plunder and devastate. At what point does it stop?

I support the change for the return of the spring bear hunt that should not have been removed in the first place. Now you just have to do the same with the wolf and coyote restrictions that were implemented...time to reverse those changes. When will that be posted? thanks!
I urge the Ontario government to cancel the province's Spring Bear Hunt completely There was no legitimate rationale for partial reinstatement of the spring bear hunt by the previous government and there is none now. Please, do not follow through with this misguided plan.
