The Ontario government wants to permanently bring back the spring bear hunt, a dangerous, cruel, and irresponsible, move being condemned by environmental, and, animal protection groups!

I am writing this comment to share my thoughts about the Spring Bear Hunt. I am so disappointed that the province wants to continue with this hunt. The only way to stop human bear conflict is to ensure people remove access to garbage, barbeques, bird feeders and other attractants for the bears.

The scene is sickening. Hungry black bears are baited with food, after they emerge from their dens after a long winter of hibernation. When they reach the bait, they are mercilessly gunned down.

I am strongly opposed to the reinstatement of the spring bear hunt in Ontario. The government has failed to justify this reinstatement with any substantial ecological, economic, social or public safety rationale.

Please do not bring back the spring bear hunt. It is a barbaric and irresponsible activity.
- Baby bears are orphaned,
- It does not improve human safety
- Bears have low reproduction rates - and the survival of adult females is vital for the species

I would urge the Government to abandon their proposal to re-install the Spring bear hunt in Ont. Bear hunting is immoral and unethical in that the bears are lured to spots where they can be shot - -hardly worthy of the word 'sport'.

I have additional comments to submit regarding this proposal, which I am against. Bear cubs will continue to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent. If a mother is killed, her cubs will most likely die slowly of starvation or be eaten by predators.

I have read about your Intention to once again allow the spring bear hunt. It appears that you mean to control numbers and make as much money as possible by this method.

Stop being so bloody ignorant about animals in general as well as this cruel inhumane gunning down of bears and leaving their cubs to starve to death! The decision makers in this country have no integrity or compassion.
Please stop this horrific hunting. It's cruel and is not the answer to bear control populations. Maybe being more conscious of food being left is a bigger issue and easier to control. Many mothers are killed leaving young ones to starve, so you end up killing a much larger population.

"We are proposing to implement a regular spring black bear season"
I propose we implement a PERMANENT BAN on ANYONE trying to bring back the needless hunting of wild animals.

Bear cubs will continue to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent. While it’s currently against the law to kill cubs and mother bears accompanied by cubs, mother bears often leave their cubs in trees when searching for food.

Please do not allow more bears to be hunted. Do not change the hunting regulations for bears, especially if mother bears are killed and the babies are orphaned.

Please do not reinstate the beyond cruel spring bear hunt!
If reinstated, bear cubs will be orphaned and suffer.
While it’s currently against the law to kill cubs and mother bears accompanied by cubs, mother bears often leave their cubs in trees when searching for food.
