Stop bear hunting now, please! As someone who used to work in Ontario’s Missinaibi Park I saw firsthand the perils our Black bears face. Competing for limited food and habitat and poachers even back in my ranger days, I know these threats have only increased.

Where is your compassion....their lives matter too. You will leave babies without parents . Or they will be all shot while they hibernate or just getting out of hibernation.

We are over run with bears. Sudbury, Ontario has bears everywhere.
I had 7 different bears in my yard at all hours of the day and night all last summer. I named them.
It is unsafe to walk to your car, unsafe to leave your children play outside, unsafe to leave your dog tied.

Been a long time coming, the livelihood of bear outfitters and our moose population has suffered enough. It may already be too late but atleast they have recognized their mistake. Another decision that was made by people who didn’t know anything about the situation.

What is wrong with this government? Please stop destroying nature directly through hunting etc. and indirectly through habitat loss and overdevelopment. Encourage outfitters to make a livelihood by introducing people to the joys of alive animals - photo safaris, art etc.

The spring bear hunt needs to end.
-Bear cubs could be cruelly orphaned by the hunt. Mother bears with cubs cannot legally be hunted; however, mother bears do not typically hunt with their cubs present, which puts her cubs at risk of predation or starvation.

I do believe that the spring bear hunt should be kept in place for years to come, as for shortening the season I will disagree. I hunt black bears on the Bruce peninsula.

Thank you for your concerns regarding the Bear population predicament in the Bruice Peninsula. I am currently not a hunter but hopefully within the next couple of years I would like to take part in the conservation and hunting of animals.

I am so sad Ontario is doing this.
The 1999 ban was so clearly the correct option.
The proposed spring bear hunt is disgusting and unethical on many levels:

I strongly disagree with the spring bear hunt and do not believe the spring hunt should happen, nor is it necessary for population management.

I am against a Spring bear hunt. Especially if it potentially leaves orphaned cubs because their mother has been killed. These cubs will not survive without their mother's care and instruction.
I object to bringing back the spring bear hunt across Ontario. No hunting of bears at all on the bruce peninsula. There is a documented decline of this mammal in that location. Like commercial fishers, help workers transfer into other occupations through retraining.
I am completely against the spring bear hunt as this event could leave young bears orphaned. There is already a fall bear hunt, adding a spring hunt seems pointless and irresponsible.
Alone, inexperienced, and afraid, without a mother to protect, teach, and guide him/her, s/he has no chance to survive, never mind to thrive.
Only humans can show such lack of compassion for no reason except greed or barbarism. Is this what the Ontario government thinks Ontario’s citizens are?

Reinstating the spring bear hunt is crazy!!! Where is the evidence to support this is necessary?? And how do you call baiting, hunting? Where is the skill in that? If you're looking for tourism dollars, try another venue!
