Hunting...the entitled humans so-called animal population control! How is it that hunting hibernating bears and new mothers with cubs is humane??? What is wrong with you people and governing bodies for even considering the continuation of such a practice! Read more

Its time we learned all living beings have a right to live out their life the same as a human, we are not superior to other living beings,nor do we have the right to snuff out their life on a casual whim,that is arrogance on a scale unimaginable to any sane person.

As a Canadian living in the 21st century, I am sickened and embarrassed by this cold-blooded return to a brutal past, where animals are abused and used at will. Most egregious yet is the veneer of “science” and “scientific study” that has been plastered on this unholy event. Read more

I am so against the hunting of black bears in Ontario in the Spring. The momma bears shot will mean certain death for their baby bears who may be only a few KG in weight and are stashed up high in a tree a few miles away from where she is foraging for food. Read more

Climate change has caused and is currently causing devastating destruction to our environment and the animals that inhabit it. We are losing species at an alarming rate, and some that were considered vulnerable, are now classified as endangered. Read more

I do not agree with a spring hunt! How are the hunters able to tell the sex of a bear before it is shot? Just because there are no cubs seen, does not necessarily mean this is a male bear. The fall bear hunt should be more than sufficient. Read more

I support this proposal. The proposal allows the professionals at the ministry to monitor black bear numbers through hunter reporting while also providing a tool for population management and control. This is a science and evidence-based policy that supports resource management. Read more

I strongly believe that the time has come to completely abolish the Spring and Fall bear hunts in Ontario. If the hunt is to continue in some form then it is imperative that truly effective protection of female bears with cubs, in both Spring and Fall hunts, be implemented immediately. Read more
