Allowing the hunting of black bears is needlessly cruel. Mother black Bears will inevitably be shot, leaving their orphaned cubs to starve to death.

I am vehemently opposed to bringing back the spring bear hunt. The province outlawed the spring bear hunt in 1999 because bear cubs were being orphaned after their mothers were shot to death.

Continuing a Bear Hunt does not limit human/Bear interaction. Providing Bear Resistant Trash disposal and educating people does. A Bear’s first line of defense is retreat and it is more by providing food sources such as baiting that will bring them into close contact with humans.

Please do not pass legislation to allow the bear hunt- we need to protect our wildlife, not allow it to be decimated by people who like to kill animals. Think of the baby bears that will starve because their mothers have been killed. This is barbaric, and should not be allowed.

I urge you to prohibit the Bear Spring hunt because these animals are endangered species and need instead protection. Beside, Bear cubs will continue to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent.

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, don't bring back the spring bear hunt!
Hunting bears doesn’t improve human safety. Stopping human-bear conflict is achieved by removing access to garbage, barbeques, and other attractants.

please dont let this law come into affect. the lives of these animals matter more than some narcissist needing to prove their worth by obtaining a trophy. If you believe in karma there might be a chance that these Hunters come back as bears, the repetitive cycle of abuse and harm can stop now.
I fully support the full reinstatement of the spring bear hunt. This makes sense in relation to bear management and at the same time generating great economic value. This will also help with the decline in moose populations. I would like to see outfitter tag quotas also raised for non residents.
How about sending the extras to countries who don’t have them or to a bear sanctuary? I am sure many animal lovers will volunteer just announce it in the media and you will see.thank you
I am personally not supportive of any changes to regulations along the Niagara Escarpment that would threaten biodiversity and, in this case, a sub-species of black bear that is unique to the Bruce Peninsula.

I urge Ontario legislators to COMPLETELY CANCEL the Spring Bear Hunt! And not expand the pilot project instituted by previous Liberal governments. Please, do not follow the misguided plan laid out by previous governments led by another party.

There is no way that baiting hungry bears emerging from hibernation, is not just an excuse to fire guns, shoot warm targets and kill large creatures. Trophy hunting.

As a citizen of Ontario I am apalled that this spring bear hunt is even being considered! There is no way to guarantee that baby bears will not be left behind as orphans to either starve or fall prey to other predators! This is not only irresponsible but incredibly CRUEL!

This is an extremely irresponsible and unnecessary activity to bring back. By allowing the spring bear hunt, you’ll knowingly be leaving cubs orphaned by allowing people in Ontario to kill mother bears. All of this for the sake of a “trophy”.

I am appalled to hear the bear hunt may become legal in Ontario again. Now is the time for conservation of wild animals, not unnecessarily slaughtering them.
Please reconsider this action!
