Please reinstate permanately the Spring bear hunt. A permanent Spring hunt is integral to the sustainability ,health and welfare of Ontarios bears. Removing mature males from the population is more effectively accomplished in Spring, and benefits greatly remaining sows and young.
Best scenario. 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.

Females with cubs must be protected; currently that is difficult as cubs are frequently treed or kept away by their mother while she forages.
The current season of May 1 to June 15 should be changed to June 1 to June 30 to protect females with cubs as well as the cubs themselves.

This is a short-sighted, regressive, backwards-thinking proposal, to kill off more bears to satisfy the "blood-lust" of certain hunter or games people.

I am writing to you with regard to the consideration currently being given to increasing the bear hunt season in Ontario.

I cannot believe that in 2020 we are still looking at ways to kill wild animals! According to the World Wildlife Fund, humans have caused the extinction of over 60% of wild animals since 1970! This is a crying shame! What are we leaving for future generations?

Spring Black Bear Season - The Black Bear Spring Hunt is a great idea for Tourism as long as by bringing it in, it doesn't interfere with the allocation of Form 33's.

Re 019-1112 spring black bear hunt
As a resident of Ontario, a health researcher and a mother of a young child, I am appalled that you would think to bring back such inhumane practice of hunting slow-moving bears including mothers with young offspring who just emerged from hibernation.

I am very concerned regarding the black bear spring hunt. Society is rapidly changing and we are becoming increasingly more aware of our relationship to animals and our need to protect them and their habitat and certainly their environment.

I do not support a spring bear hunt in Ontario. It is unsustainable to hunt animals while they are raising young. Hunters have proven repeatedly they can't tell a sow with cubs from a sow without cubs. I am against making the spring bear hunt a permanent hunting season.
I am appalled that any black bear hunt is even being considered. Are we going back in time? Canada is a civilized country with no room for these primitive acts of violence perpetrated on animals.

I am completely against a spring bear hunt because, as we all know, it results in orphaned cubs who usually die a slow death without their mother. It is impossible for even responsible hunters (and many are anything but responsible) to be sure that they are not killing a female animal.

To Whom It May Concern:
Gods Animals, NOT yours!!!! Animals were created by God to live their life as god intended. Not to be killed, tormented and suffer like you are intending.
