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.

I'm totally opposed to the spring bear hunt. It shouldnt be called a hunt . The bears are starving and baited and there are cubs running around who will be orphaned and most likely starve. In our ever shrinking world wilderness is going to be ever more vsluable.

The spring bear hunt and in fact all hunting of bears is a barbaric activity and now this government wants to make it part of their legacy. More orphaned and dead cubs are just one part of the problem.

Hunting anything is not needed in our society. Hunting stops humanity from reaching the goal of a civilized planet.
Hunting bears, deer, ANY creatures ANY time of year is barbaric and obscene.
Hunting damages the ecosystem and the ecosystem should be left to balance itself.

Bear hunting? What gives anyone the right? Hunting is killing animal for enjoyment, which translates to getting pleasure out of death. BAN HUNTING and TRAPPING.
Please reconsider this cruel and unnecessary policy. The spring hunt results in the deaths of many female bears and cubs. Most Ontarians are not hunters and do not support hunting, particularly trophy hunting or hunting tourism. A spring cull is not ethical or necessary.
This is disgusting! Bringing back hunting of these beautiful creatures that we fought to stop!!! Prohibit the spring bear hunting and leave these beautiful creatures alone! They are not here to be disposable to us! They have just as much right to live in peace as we do!

I strongly oppose the idea of opening a Spring bear hunt. This puts the narrow interests f hunters before the public interest of a healthy eco system where animals have a place. This move is not evidenced based and is not supported by Ontarians.
Why is the Ontario government considering reinstating the spring bear hunt? There are no good reasons for doing so. The hunt was outlawed because bear cubs were orphaned after their mothers were killed. Cubs stay with their mothers for at least a year and have little hope of survival without her.

Hunting of any kind is an affront to civilized life in the 21st century. If the concern is for population control and it is scientifically monitored, there should be “modern” methods of dealing with the problem.
