Please reconsider reinstating the spring bear hunt
Bear cubs will suffer and die because of it.
I support al the conservation groups opposing this change.
It serves not good purpose.

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.

Hunting black bears [spring or fall] is barbaric!
Cowardly hunters hide in trees until a bear comes looking for bait - there is no possible way to differentiate a male from a female.
Orphaned cubs will not survive in the wild, as the mother bear cares for them for at least a year.

I strongly disagree with the proposal to implement a regular spring black bear season. I also strongly disagree with the updates to black bear regulations to improve fairness. I don’t agree that guiding companies should be given any further advantages.
People of Ontario rejected spring hunt two decades ago. The so-called trials serve only to appease minority of hunters. This proposal must be rejected for following reasons:
*All bears in spring are vulnerable, and easy targets, after hibernation and weight loss

The new proposal for hunting bears in 82,83,and 84 has not been thought through very well in my eyes. Im not sure where you gather your info for the population but I have been hunting the Pennisula for 15 years and many years the bears are hardly out of their dens hitting baits by the 7th of May.

Stop the bear hunt!
There are enough species out there for gun-happy yahoos to hunt down and kill without endangering these bears, especially the mother bears and consequently, the cubs.
Please protect these bears!
I follow animal sanctuaries and every year poor orphan cubs are brought in fighting for their lives due to their mother bear being shot by hunters.

I have lived on the Bruce for nearly 50 years. I have NEVER seen as many bears as I have in the last 5 years. This is crazy. You need at least a 1 month spring hunt. Then a month in the fall.
Before re-instating the spring bear hunt in Ontario, how about considering the sustainability of this proposal. This is 2020 and the killing of animals for an individual's fun is no longer seen as sporting, rather it is more akin to being pretty selfish.

Good proposal - I support the spring bear hunt as long as it is managed based on science based evidence not the emotional misinformation often pushed by anti-hunting groups or individuals.

Your rulings in this matter are very important, not only for bear survival but for the integrity of the ecosystem of which they are a part, particularly now with the effects of climate change. Ecologists sometimes refer to bears as “ecosystem architects” or “ecosystem engineers.”
