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. Read more

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 Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

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? Read more

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. Read more

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.

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. Read more

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! Read more
