I stand in strong opposition with the spring bear hunt and have consulted the experts. In addition to the following which has not been addressed appropriately, there is a massive extinction of many living things, much of which is caused by human interference. Read more

I say no to the bear hunt in the spring as the bears are just coming out of hibernation, and females will be having cubs. Nope just not right. Wait till fall to do this hunt ( which I think is totally unnecessary anyways ) but as usual the government won’t listen and do it anyway

I can not support the spring bear hunt for several reasons. We should be a leading country in eco-tourism with our beautiful and vast wilderness - environmental conservation and eco-tourism go hand in hand - environmental conservation and hunting for sport do not. Read more

As a former bear hunter and bear hunting guide in the province of Alberta I am 100 percent Against re opening of the spring bear hunt. I have witnessed on far too many occasions when mother bears ended up being shot and killed leaving the the young spring cubs orphaned to die a slow death. Read more

As an Ontario resident, I urge the Ontario government to halt the Spring bear hunt. The Spring bear hunt was previously cancelled because of issues with killing mother bears and leaving orphan cubs. Baiting in the Spring exacerbates this. Read more

I am totally against any permission for a spring bear hunt in the province of Ontario. Spring is the time when mother bears come out of their dens with brand new babies. If the mother is killed the babies will die too for lack of care. This is extremely cruel and must be eliminated. Read more
