I am utterly opposed to the reintroduction of a permanent spring hunt in Ontario - which cruelly targets bears at their most vulnerable time of year.

As a tourist I will most likely not be visiting Ontario if you go ahead an implement a spring bear hunt. As you are probably more than aware hunters are not capable of telling the difference between male and female bears.

A spring bear hunt is against basic bear biology. New cubs, weak from hibernation. A hunt is a machete when a scalpel would deal with nuisance bears. A spring hunt has exponential effects on reproduction.

As an Ontario resident that spends a great deal of time in the outdoors across the province, I would like to express my strong opposition to the proposed reopening of the Ontario spring bear hunt. There is no logical reason for opening the hunt after all these years.

As someone who cares about Ontario's wildlife, I am disappointed to learn that this government is now proposing a permanent spring bear hunt. At the time of the proposed "pilot" project I also submitted a comment in opposition and I am doing so again today.

I would eliminate the spring hunting season for black bear. I have no issues with bears coming unto my property searching for food in spring. But I do have issues with illegal hunters trespassing on my property with their flying bullets.

Please consider ending the spring hunt - cubs are born in their dens during this season and are left orphaned, starving and in horrible suffering when mother bears begin to forage and are hunted down.

NO...opening up Spring bear hunt makes no sense and is WRONG for so many reasons. We seen so much illegal hunting, poaching, and baiting in the over 40 years we been living in bear country...and seeing a decline in population. People just shoot them and call them nuisance bears.

I am apposed to the implementation of a spring bear hunt for the following reasons:
If we want to maintain a robust bear population for hunters It remains prudent to not place stress on bears emerging from hibernation.

I have owned property in Ontario for 17 years and started bear hunting about 14 years ago. It is one of the main reasons I purchased property in Ontario and it has been a family tradition to engage of all aspects of the hunt with my family.

There are a great deal of issues surrounding the existing spring bear hunt that have not been addressed appropriately. While The Fur-Bearers strongly oppose the spring bear hunt and believe it should be cancelled, there are issues that must be considered if it is to continue.

we really have to say why we are asking that a bear hunt be stopped --?
how do the killers of these bears know if bear they are killing has cubs -??
just geez.. stop this killing of bears
Sport hunting is unethical and upsets the ecosystem in many ways.
Leave the damned bears alone. If Ontario cannot find a way to live in harmony with nature, it says a lot about how ignorant and lazy the province is.
You can do better. BAN THE BEAR HUNT.
Please reconsider extending the black bear hunt. We need to protect our wildlife not kill it. The reason many tourists come to Canada is because of our biodiversity, let’s be kinder to our fellow beings sharing our land and allow them to live a full life.
