The spring bear hunt should be cancelled as it was done in 1999 by Premier Mike Harris & Minister John Snobelen. Most hunters are non residents who hunt by baiting bears. Most cannot distinguish male & female bears at bait stations. Baiting is not hunting. Requires few or no hunting skills.

I am not in favor of prohibiting nonresident hurting with an immediate family member. By being able to hunt with a family member I am able to hunt on the farm owned by my daughter and son in-law and am able to take my grandsons hunting on their own farm.

We urge the Environmental Registry of Ontario and the Ministry of Natural Resources to abandon their proposal to reintroduce the spring bear hunt. There is no need for the hunt. The human safety argument has been soundly refuted and the economic and certainty arguments are unfounded.

I feel very strongly that the spring bear hunt should be abolished. Imagine the number of cubs that will be orphaned. I can't believe that the politicians that are representing me would consider supporting a spring bear hunt.
Please do not change the ability for non residents to hunt with our family. This is an opportunity that means a lot to our family and our continued investment into recreational trips to your beautiful country.
I strongly disagree with the spring bear hunt and I want the government to cancel it.
Mother bears often leave their cubs in a safe place to hunt for food and the hunters can not distinguish female from male bears. This means female bears are killed and their cubs die as a result.

I am pleased to see the extension of the spring bear past 2020 . I think that non resident property owner bear hunters is less of an issue in Northeastern Ontario than it is in Northwestern Ontario .I think non resident property owners should enjoy some benefits as a tax payer of Ontario .

Hello,
I find it disturbing that there is a proposal to extend the bear-killing season in the spring. Is there any need to kill bears? Can't we just leave them alone?

Bear hunt should not become permanent in Ontario. It will orphan cubs who cannot survive without their mothers. It will increase the chance of killing pregnant females which will effect the bear population in Ontario.

Animals deserve the right to life just as much as human beings. We have no right to hunt these animals for sport. Leave them be and allow nature to heal it’s wounds that man kind has created. Do the right thing and prohibit hunting permanently.
Please stop hunting the bears.. Killing off top predators in any ecosystem has a drastic effect down the food chain.. Leads to increase in their prey species population and the decimation of the food source for said prey species...

Do not allow the hunting of bears. 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.

I am totally in opposition to a spring bear hunt. Stop this cruel practice and the creation of so many orphan bears who do not survive given their mothers have been killed.
I oppose a bear hunt ever as well.
We used to see bears regularly in our area and in the past year, there was not one.
A spring bear hunt is so disturbing. A hunter will not differentiate between a male or female bear. Cubs will lose their mother and will be left to starve or be killed by predators. Also, the habit of baiting bears and then killing them is so unsportsmanlike.

I agree that stopping the spring bear hunt is hugely important.
Any type of killing for hunting of a species that is not causing problems or causing harm is in humane.!!!!
We don’t need to kill anything! Ever!
I believe that the bear hunt on the Bruce Peninsula should be cancelled indefinitely and completely. Reasons for this statement include the following:

I totally disagree with the proposal to change the bear hunting licensing for non resident and resident land owners tax payers. It is totally going to decrease tourism and make the hunting a monopoly for the out fitters and is unfair to everyone else.
