Personally I find the spring bear hunt to be unethical regardless. Cubs are born in hibernation, the bears wake up looking for food (SURVIVAL) and are still in a groggy state from hibernation. The following is more info I copied and pasted from a facebook post: Read more

Please absolutely do NOT let tourists or anyone for that matter kill our bears. I am sickened by trophy hunting and making this okay in Ontario is despicable. We are judged by the way we treat our animals and this would be absolutely revolting. We are better than this.

Please do not reintroduce the regular spring bear hunt permanently. This practice is a death sentence for cubs orphaned when their mothers are gunned down by hunters after emerging from hibernation - even if hunting females is prohibited. Read more

The proposed changes in the bear hunting registry is regressive. Ontario should focus on ecotourism, shooting beautiful wildlife with camera not causing them pain and suffering. Around the world this is the way forward thinking societies are moving. Ontario should reject blood sports.

Mama bears and cubs should not be hunted. This is obvious. If baiting is used it will cause the bears to approach human residences after. And one should not be offered food and then be slaughtered -- seems like a very unfair exchange! Read more

I am totally OPPOSED to the proposed changes to black bear hunting regulations. Here are two of my reasons: 1) the extreme cruelty to animals which will result from the orphaned baby bears. This happened during the previous spring bear hunts and for sure it will happen again. Read more

Bears are generally very timid creatures and do their best to avoid humans. The likelihood of a bear attacking a human is remarkably low and bears that are habituated to human presence are even less likely to behave aggressively towards people. Read more
