It is about time the M of E started to protect our natural resources rather than trying to get rid of them. We have the fall bear hunt which is OK, however in the spring and baiting hungry sleepy bears for the first 6 weeks of spring is ridicules.

I urge Ontario legislators to cancel the Spring Bear Hunt completely, and to 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.

My husband and I are strongly against reinstating the spring Black Bear hunt. We follow environmental action alerts through our local nature club and Ontario Nature. We agree with their concerns regarding this matter.

In life we must consider what is necessary and what is NOT. Hunting these bears in NOT necessary. Give land and space. Back to wildlife.
stop the KILL.
Please do not permit this bear hunt, it is inhumane and barbaric. These beings have a right to be left alone and not be killed for entertainment. Killing for fun is not something we should encourage in a civil society by making it legal to do so.

I believe it is not wise to bring back the regular black bear hunt. The main reason is that the cubs are too young in the spring to travel with their mother when she is foraging for food which means the hunters are killing black bear mothers.

Please consder the below in regards to the spring bear hunt:
Hunters often claim they can tell if a female bear is nursing her young. But, five 'Fish and Wildlife' staff in the U.S. seem to disagree. In a discussion paper, they wrote:

Please leave the bears alone. There may be orphaned bear cubs. Spring time is when they come out. Who will look after the cubs then!
It's 2020, trophy hunting is a barbaric event.
