I am against this bear hunt. We need to preserve and protect the shrinking bear habitat. We could also drop truckloads of imperfect foods from grocers and restaurants etc in remote bear country to prevent starvation and make their search for food in human populated areas less of a necessity.

Great strides forward on the bear hunting issue. Once the MNRF reinstated the spring bear hunt, we closed our fall hunt because too many large females were being harvested. We never liked the fall hunt because of this. Scientifically, the spring hunt is the better hunt to have. Read more

I am in full support of this proposal. This is a science based approach to renewable resource use. Failure to properly manage the black bear population by closing the spring season resulted in many social and economic difficulties for Ontarians. Read more

Please speak out against the proposal to expand the Ontario Spring Bear Hunt from a pilot project (which ends this year), to an annual event from May 1st to June 15th. The only slight reduction of the hunt would be in the Bruce Peninsula, where the hunt would be from May 1 to May 7th. Read more

I am commenting on the proposed reintroduction of the spring bear hunt. Our planet is losing species at a breathtaking rate, their remaining habitat is being developed/ destroyed by humans and you want to kill more. I am vehemently opposed to this hunt. Read more

I live in rural southern Ontario, a little east of Toronto, and I am opposed to the implementation of a spring bear hunt. In the spring hunt, slow-moving mother bears who have just emerged from hibernation are easily targeted often leaving orphan cubs as collateral damage. Read more

Mass slaughter for the pleasure of a few is unconscionable! Especially so in the spring when bears are weak and have offspring to raise. Worse, the meat is not consumed by majority of hunters. There have been only 25 fatalities of humans by bear in North America the past 20 years! Read more
