I would like to begin this comment with information about myself, I am a 25 year old adult who is legally allowed to vote and do so on election days. I believe in democracy and everyone having a voice.
I disagree with the proposed changes, for the following reasons:

I am adamantly opposed to this hunt! The government should be seeking strategies that enable the bears to live in a sustainable environment. Protected areas, strategies for co-habiting, education for people to reduce negative interaction.
I think this is a wonderful idea. It is about time that the situation is addressed about the dwindling Black bear population in the Bruce Peninsula. This is a step in the right direction to help preserve the species for all generations to come.
For the past 13 years I’ve lived in a black bear region south of Thunder Bay. When I first arrived there bears frequently visited my yard & left scat on all roads in my area. Today, I very seldom even see signs of bears, nor see them.

Bring back the spring bear hunt full time, I have been in the bush hunting and trapping my entire life and am now 60 years old, I operate a 22 thousand acre trap line and have watched the black bear population increase and the deer, moose and beaver decrease since the cancellation of the spring hunt

I am against the reinstatement of the spring bear hunt in Ontario. The reason is... I live in a very rural of the province where there is no police force and very few game warden checks during hunting and fishing seasons.

The Spring Bear Hunt should be abolished rather than continued. It is unethical and highly immoral for hunters to be hunting bear in spring, when bears are just out of hibernation. They are extremely hungry, weak and highly susceptible to baiting stations.

I'm absolutely disgusted by this whole idea. NO ONE should be hunting ANY animals in the spring. Or anytime, for that matter. But this is particularly egregious. There is absolutely NO reason for this. Cubs are out, mother bears are protecting them. It's just heinous.

I support the continued implementation of the spring bear hunt. I believe the initial cancellation was due to political pressure from a special interest group and not scientific information.
Thank you
I am against any kind of hunting of any animals. They were here first and I don't believe that humans have the right to do this. Leave the bears alone. How are people supposed to understand that murder is wrong when the government sanctions wars and hunting of animals?

I strongly urge you to eliminate the Spring Bear Hunt, and do not allow it to become permanent. It was a former Progressive Conservative government led by former Premier Mike Harris that banned a Spring Bear Hunt in Ontario - something to be proud off.

I strongly believe that humans need to stop slaughtering the animals which are native to this country. We are rushing to the total elimination of the creatures of this earth and if we don't put a stop to "sport" shooting, our descendents will be able to look at pictures and not at the actual animal.
this is disgusting! animals should be protected, especially mothers with cubs! you are all evil people if you are going to do this or stand by and watch and do nothing to stop it!
Black bear spring hunts are an invitation to orphan cubs which will die a slow death due to starvation. Ontario should be above this. There is no reason ever to hunt bear but spring hunts are just cruel. Please do not introduce spring bear hunts in Ontario.
I can not believe in 2020 we’re having to discuss the barbaric nature of bear hunting. It’s those without any compassion and empathy for animals, that turn into killers.
Surely we should be promoting the ability to live with, and understand nature, rather than try and destroy it.

As a citizen of this province I strongly oppose implementing a permanent spring bear hunt. In an era where all species are in decline - including black bears in many parts of this province - we should be ELIMINATING spring hunting of ANYTHING!

I am opposed to having a regular spring bear hunt. It's been my observation that hunting seasons disturb wildlife and cause them to move into areas where they do not normally go....into more urban/suburban areas.
