I am very concerned that the spring bear hunt continues to be an issue for our provincial government. What possible justification can there be for killing off mother bears in the spring when their vulnerable cubs are cruelly left to die without their mother's protection ?

Yet again, after living in Northwestern Ontario for 68 years, I am compelled to try and 'knock some sense' into my provincial government's head regarding the spring bear hunt.

This proposal is only designed to benefit a small minority of outsiders looking for the thrill of taking the life of an animal. How will it benefit the communities and how will it encourage us as a species to be better guardians of our environment and the other sentient beings we affect
There is absolutely no justification for this proposal beyond supporting economic and vested interests in maintaining the status quo i.e., that hunting is acceptable.

In this day and age when the environment is in peril due to human caused climate change the government should be mandating the protection of nature and wildlife not disguising the murder of innocent animals under the cloak of tourism and conservation.

The Ontario government wants to permanently bring back the spring bear hunt to benefit hunters and the tourism industry, even if it means a death sentence for orphaned cubs. Stop the insane cruelty! Between killing baby seals and making orphans of bear cubs, you are barbaric in your thinking!
We live in a fairly remote area in North Frontenac and in all our years here we have never seen any signs of bears. So there can't be many around and yet this should be bear country. We do NOT need a Spring hunt when we already have so few to begin with.

One bullet can kill a whole family.... Hunters have difficulties determining the sex of bears even when they use bait or hounds, are attempting to avoid shooting females and are in close proximity. Researchers themselves have difficulties determining sex, even at short distances.

When species like black bears, at the top of the food chain are targeted by provincial regulations that allow them to be culled, the inevitable result is collateral damage. In this case, a spring bear hunt will, with certainty, leave orphaned cubs.

Bears need our protection, not more persecution by humans. Let's do the right thing rather than continue to disrupt ecosystems and cause senseless suffering.
Please reconsider the 2020 and future Spring bear hunt. It is a cruel sport that leaves orphaned cubs and does not allow the ecosystem to naturally balance & align itself.

I am opposed to this proposal, especially in spring, as many hunters may inadvertently kill a female bear, leaving her cubs.
I oppose the hunt spring or fall, or any time of year, as Canada/Ontario should be protecting its wildlife, not exposing them for entertainment.

Spring Bear Hunt should be abolished, however if hunt is too continue, changes must be made.
-It should last 30 days, June 1 to June 30. -Baiting must stop after June 30 not to begin again until September 1st, or 2 weeks prior to fall hunt.

We should be protecting these animals not promoting the slaughter of them. How dare we be so unethical to allow killing while they are giving birth and caring for their young! This is disgusting.
