The Ontario government needs to cancel the Spring Bear Hunt. The vast majority of Ontarians do not support this hunt or hunting in general. There certainly aren't too many bears and, in some parts of the province like the Bruce Peninsula, there are declining numbers. Read more

I am writing to urge you to abolish the spring bear hunt. It is cruel and entirely unnecessary. The best and most compassionate way to reduce human-bear conflicts is to provide education and enforcement to ensure that humans manage their waste and do not attract bears. Read more

Please end the cruelty animals suffer at human hands including the beautiful and majestic bear. Hunting is archaic and barbaric and we need to create solutions as we SHARE our planet with them. We need to focus on finding alternatives to culling.

The spring bear hunt should be banned for good. Shooting mother bears is hardly different than shooting human mothers. Baiting them to shoot them is even more cruel. People really need to find other ways to feel good about themselves that do not include harming other sentient beings.

Lifting the “pilot” off the spring bear hunt, will provide an additional, permanent “recreational” opportunity. Obviously this is in the stakeholders’ interest (hunters, outfitters, tourism industry, camp owners) as they focus on maximizing their hunting opportunities and revenue year-round. Read more
