Please do not allow a bear hunt. Bears and other animals deserve our protection. Bears should not be hunted. It is our responsibility to protect lands, waters, and animals from destruction. Please do not let these animals be killed. Thank You.
"... the ministry recognizes the need to take action to respond to the decline in bear numbers to support sustainability of this genetically isolated population."

Let me start off by saying that to many animals are killed for the dubious reason of culling them, or supposedly they cause problems with or for humans. If wildlife is left alone they will police their own numbers through predation, lack of food or natural diseases.

I am totally sick of the disregard for our animals by politicians. You people have the whole world out of balance - take your guns and shove them! Leave the bears, the deer, the moose and everything beautiful about this planet alone. You people make me sick!!!!!
I see no reason whatever for hunting these endangered creatures. From the details of your proposal, it would seem that the shrinking black bear population should be protected, not killed. I am disgusted by the thought that my provincial government would bow to the sadistic whims of game hunters.

I don't agree with the idea of a spring bear hunt. I think it should be banned again, as before. It's too easy for young cubs to be orphaned, even if unintentionally. Think of what a slow and painful death those poor cubs could end up going through.
I disagree with the proposal to implement a regular spring black bear season. This practice should be banned. I do not support this proposal. Hunting is cruel and this proposal will lead to the inadvertent killing of female bears who are hard to distinguish from male bears.

No to the spring bear hunt ! No to orphaned cubs because someone chose to make money killing their mother . The government just wants to appease these groups who claim it will bring tourist dollars and create jobs . How by killing innocent creatures?

Hunting for sport is dysfunctional. Developers in Ontario continue to encroach on and destroy wildlife habitat. To hunt as well as destroy their habitat is shameful.

This is absurd and completely unnecessary to kill an innocent creature in their natural habit. In other provinces and in national parks in the U.S., seeing the black bears in the wild is a tourist opportunity.

The spring bear hunt causes many cubs to become orphaned and without mothers for protection, they suffer needlessly and die. The hunting season for bears is enough that killing bears in spring should not even be considered.

This is terrible - having read the OFAH's position on the Spring Bear Hunt, listing "adventure" and "an experience akin to spiritual awakening" - I cannot say there is any compelling evidence that this hunt should be reinstated.

As a proud Ontarian, one who has lived here for my entire life, I am against the hunting of bears and absolutely DO NOT SUPPORT IT. We must stop the bear hunt! STOP THE BEAR HUNT.
