/Please, do not reinstate the spring bear hunt. Do you not see how wrong this is? There are probably a few people with too much power that want to go out and bag themselves any easy target just so they can go home with the poor creature and brag about their big furry trophy. Read more

Please stop the spring black bear hunt. Hunters absolutely cannot distinguish between male and female bears, especially in heavily wooded forests and brush, and you risk killing mother bears and leaving the cubs to starve or die. Read more

Do NOT extend the spring bear hunt. Hunting is obsolete, barbaric blood sport. What possible pleasure could somebody gain from slaughtering helpless animals. Just LEAVE THEM ALONE. We're not the only species, we just act that way. Animals are not there for our pleasure to kill as we desire.

Black bear populations are vulnerable because these animals reach sexual maturity later in life and are a long lived animal. They’re not going around having 5 or 6 cubs every spring. To make black bear hunting a permanent thing is a dangerous game to play. Read more

I am against the extension of the spring bear hunt. I believe that this should not be allowed mainly due to the difficulty of hunters to distinguish sows (mother bears) from boars (male bears). The killing of the sow renders many cubs orphans who stand little to no chance of surviving.

Hi, as an Ontario taxpayer I am strongly against hunting, especially black bears. This is an utterly moronic and violent way to address bear population issues, if they even exist. It is no more a sport or a right then gang violence. Read more

I am 100% opposed to the spring bear hunt. Animal rescue charities are constantly dealing with this failed program. Kathleen Wynne made a huge mistake and its time the Conservatives fixed it. I challenge any hunter to identify a female bear from any distance.

I believe hunting for the sake of sport to be a vile act. In this case especially because it risks the survival of the black bear where hunters apparently cannot differentiate a male and female. I whole heartily believe that a species should continue to exist and flourish. Read more

Do not allow a regular hunting season for black bears in the spring. Hunters cannot easily distinguish male and female bears and you risk creating a large increase in orphaned cubs because of it. Irresponsible choice if you allow the spring season!
