Having again hunted Spring Bear for the past 4 seasons and will do so again this year, I feel it imperative to return the Spring Bear Hunt to permanent status once again.

Stop killing animals for fun. Humans should not consume bear meat so there is no reason to hunt them other than for a trophy. Let nature run its course, humans are destroying the planet and this is just one of the many ways.
Please do not reinstate the black bear hunt! It is impossible for hunters to tell the difference between male and female bears until the bear is dead and inspected up close.
Let’s leave nature to regulate itself, it’s better at it than humans are!
This is a terrible idea. Hunters have difficulty distinguishing between male and female. Also, what if baby cubs are not noticed, then what happens to the cubs? I’m opposed to this idea!
As a resident of Northern Ontario I am in full support of a return of an annual spring bear hunt. With the inception of the trial hunt I have witnessed a significant drop in bears roaming the town looking for food. As an outdoors person I have noticed a change in bear behaviour.

Stop the hunt of black bears in Ontario. Bears are already experiencing effects of climate change and will continue to suffer because of it. We should not add human predation to their list of struggles. Place their lives over that of profit.

As a Bear hunter and Bear hunting guide for Ontario residents only I find the proposal interesting. Since the Spring Bear hunt pilot project began I've observed a rapid and steady decline of Bears in WMU 62 just East of Tweed.

I sincerely want to comment on the possibility of a rebirth of another Spring Bear hunt. Please NO. Animals should not be used as a Political Platform for obtaining votes. Please use the facts. Talk to the sanctuaries and knowledgeable people who have all the facts and real statistics.

In 2020 it is outrageous that the merciless and unnecessary killing of mothers, fathers and their babies is even being considered. This country needs to evolve and truly learn how to coexist with those who share this planet with us. Mass killing is no solution.

Please, can we leave these animal alone? Who are we to decide if they live or die? They do not need to be hunted. Our wildlife suffers enough from all the land development and climate change, can we PLEASE just let them be?

No! It is wrong to be killing innocent animals in the first place, and even worse to sacrifice them for the sake of tourists! Please, get your priorities straight. Animals deserve to be here, one could argue even more than humans, as they were here first.

I am a property owner and regularly reside in NW Ontario in what is popularly considered “bear country”. I am absolutely opposed to the proposed changes in black bear hunting regulations.

I am adamantly opposed to any bear hunt here in the Province of Ontario. I do not understand the penchant to kill and maim our animal natural resources except killing (as humanely as possible) in the case of indigenous populations doing so to maintain their survival.

Why would you hunt black bear in the first place? Especially in the spring when they have been in hibernation all winter? They are at their weakest and I suppose will be easier for hunters to kill.
