I oppose changes to the black bear hunting regulations. Changes are not based on evidence
What we do know about the spring bear hunt is:
Most hunters are non-residents who hunt by baiting bears;
Many hunters at bait stations are unable to distinguish between male and female bears;

The hunting of black bears should be prohibited. It is clearly stated that black bears have a population concern yet you are choosing to continue hunting them simply for your own joy or pleasure, which is never a good enough reason to take an sentient beings life.

I’m saying NO to the spring and fall bear hunt.
It is a government money grab for smiling gun happy red necks who get a thrill at a kill.
The moose population is a risk and how dare the government issue tags when there is a decline in this species due to hunting and land takeover.

Knowing that hunting bears in the spring will certainly leave cubs as orphans and ultimately starve to death in unconscionable. The hunt boils down to money both for the government and its agencies. Shame on Ontario.
PERMANENTLY BAN ALL BEAR HUNTS!!. HUMANS HAVE NO PLACE IN THE HOMES OF ANY WILDLIFE!!.
SADISTIC HUNTERS THAT CAN KILL A MOTHER BEAR, AND LEAVE HER CUBS TO DIE, ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO BE CULLED!!
I believe that this is an absolutely cruel act that should not be allowed. Serial killers start with animals, and I don't see the difference between killing a dog for fun and killing a bear for fun. There are other forms of entertainment that don't involve orphaning animals.

Myself, along with all of my associates, are devastated that the re-introduction of the spring bear hunt is even being considered. Our main reasons:

The bear hunt is not needed.It is just a cruel sport for some.They don't realize that the cubs are often left motherless which in turn could lead to extinction eventually.
Please make it illegal to hunt black bears,they are God's creation & we need them for the environment.

The risk of orphaning young bears and injury to nursing females or their offspring overweighs any supposed "benefit" to hunting bears in spring.

Do not reinstate the spring bear hunt. There are no valid scientific reasons to do so. Hunters are unable to distinguish female bears with cubs resulting in orphaned cubs starving to death.
There is no need to kill bears. I have a hard time understanding why we are such a barbaric species. I believe we were put on this planet to care for it not to destroy it and the beautiful creatures we share it with. Bear cubs will continue to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent.

Please stop the black bear hunt. Females with cubs must be protected; currently that is difficult as cubs are frequently treed or kept away by their mother while she forages.

Hunting bears doesn’t improve human safety. Stopping human-bear conflict is achieved by removing access to garbage, barbeques, and other attractants. Even the economic argument for allowing the hunt is weak.

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.

This is my response to the proposal to allow hunting of black bears which is cruel and inhumane. The hunting of bears should not be allowed all year round but be banned altogether for the following reasons:-
