I am totally against the Spring bear hunting season. Although it is illegal to kill cubs and sows with cubs, mother bears frequently leave their cubs in a tree for safety whilst foraging for food (I have personally observed this).

I am opposed to the spring bear hunt.
Bears, like all wildlife, need our compassion and protection. It’s unacceptable that the government is supporting the cruel and needless trophy hunting of bears.

I am a retired wildlife research biologist whose specialty is grizzly, black and polar bear behaviour. I taught wildlife management in a land grant college of natural resources. I have just published a book which tells about how interesting, intelligent and sentient that bears are.

Please do not bring back the Spring Bear Hunt. Mothers are teaching their cubs, they are a family and deserve a fair chance to live and not be hunted, especially not when they are so vulnerable.

To Whom It May Concern:
Please prohibit the black bear hunt or any other kind of hunt.
