This should not be happening in this day and age. How can any self respecting “conservationist” endorse a spring hunt that leaves cubs to starve. Hunters are not qualified or interested in distinguishing a mother bear, they are only there to “bag” a bear. Read more

I am truly appalled by this proposal. All you are doing is catering to the gun-obsessed psychopaths who really want to shoot people, but since that is not legal, you give them permission to shoot innocent animals. The liberal government re-opened the bear hunt to win votes, that is all. Read more

In the face of rapidly diminishing wildlife; the spring bear hunt is totally inappropriate! It is a practice of extreme and unnecessary cruelty. Bear cubs are left alone with little hope of survival...a tragic situation indeed! I am asking that the spring bear hunt be ended permanently .

Please reconsider the hunting of the beautiful creatures. These are sentient beings and should be left to live in peace. There is no reason any hunt should be happening. We are contributing to the imbalance of nature and this will surely come back to haunt us. PLEASE RECONSIDER.

I have concerns that opening a spring bear hunt will result in more orphan bear cubs. Female bears with cubs need to be protected. My understanding is that there is already a bear hunting season in the fall, why is it necessary to have two hunting seasons? It doesn’t seem logical. Read more

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. Read more

We are so arrogant to think we need to manage mother nature when she did just fine for millenia without our interference! There should be no changes to the black bear hunting. Why are we so eager to kill species, that’s why they are becoming endangered. Read more

Please don’t allow this hunt to continue. There is no actual need to hunt these animals. This is not a human necessity but a desire to kill a living thing. Please leave the bears alone. When these hunts happen so many consequences are had- including orphan cubs who cannot survive. Read more

How many mother bears are you people going to allow to be killed so that their babies are orphaned? What is the matter with you people that you think animals are only here for you to kill for fun? I'm so disgusted that I live in a country that trades decency for target practise.

Yes , I am all for the full re instatement of the spring bear hunt in Ontario. The spring hunt should never have been cancelled in the first place. Very poor decision years ago has created a severe decline in ungulate population in many areas across our province, along with the wolf/coyote ban. Read more

Fundamentally I am against game hunting. I believe that human beings have to share the world with other forms of life. I do acknowledge that humans depend on kills other animals for food and clothing. So I believe that only hunting for food and necessity for survival should be allowed. Read more

Please do NOT pass a spring bear hunt. This is an obvious recipe for a tragic and completely avoidable disaster when mother bears will most surely be “accidentally” shot, leaving dependent and vulnerable cubs orphaned. I’m frankly appalled that this is even being considered. Read more

The respect for wildlife in increasing throughout Canada and the World. Humanity should learn to resect other life forms other than human only. Killing animals for fun is for barbarians, and the community does not want these people to exist. Read more

I think making the spring bear hunt permanent is a ridiculous idea. I can't even understand how anyone would agree to this. I guess I shouldn't be surprised given that I have had no reply from our current Minister for any of the issues I have written to him about. Read more
