Please protect the bears, not encourage their killing...enough animals are dying...we should be doing our best to aid & not hinder to-the-point of another extinction
I strongly disagree with the proposed changes for hunting bears. This is a matter of ethics and environmental responsibility. I do not go by science or facts all the time and bears do not exist to provide deadly entertainment, provide room decor, nor do they exist to boost the egos of hunters.

Black Bear hunting is trophy hunting. Baiting bears is legal and carried on by Outfitters to ensure a kill to clients. The hunters sit safely in the trees and kill the Black Bears simply eating a sugary feast that they can't resist. It's illegal to kill females IF THE YOUNG BABIES ARE IN SIGHT.

Time to defend and protect wildlife from hunters and not promote it. The Spring Bear Hunt is outdated and cruel. Promoting tourism with a Spring Bear Hunt / trophy hunting is wrong.
Not only should you protect black bears by not permanently bringing back the spring bear hunt, you should also bring back animals that are extinct, becoming extinct or without a diversity in DNA because their numbers are so low, including those that hunt black bears.

I know that this comment will no doubt elicit eye rolls but I still feel it's important to say that I vehemently disagree with instituting the bear hunt again. What makes killing something fun? Why do humans think it's okay to deprive another being of their life?

Goverment job is to protect bears and other spiecies not to encourage their killing. We homo-sapiens are not only one who experience pain,hunger,fear,love,joy,loneliness and have interest in freedom and staying alive.

A Spring Black Bear season is a great idea! It works well in nearly all Canadian provinces, so why not in Ontario. Thank you for using sound science to manage your wildlife, instead of falling for all the lies told by anti-hunting cult members!
I am strogly opposed to regular spring bear hunt and any bear hunt. It is cruel and unnecesery and very risky in terms of having female bears killed and bear cubs being left orphaned and unable to survive on their own at only few months old.

Please do not bring back the spring bear hunt to benefit hunters and the tourism industry. This will mean a death sentence for orphaned cubs which is a travesty. The life of a living creature is ALWAYS more important than money! Pursuit of money is ALWAYS the bearer of evil!

Here in Northern Ontario, we never had a problem with bears, and only on rare occasions did we see any of them. They would break into campers occasionally, or could be seen at land fill sites, but never in town.

I support this proposal. I believe biodiversity is important for the planet and therefore it would be beneficial to ensure the sustainability of black bear, which i understand is a genetically isolated population.
I am not in favor of having to use a "Guide Service" to hunt black bear as a non-resident landowner. Your proposal talks about "fairness". What is fair about limiting a landowner rights on his own land?

The world is in an awful state.
Over population of humans is the problem.
They leave the mountains of rubbish and pollution.
Please ban traps and look after our beautiful wildlife.

Please do not allow bear hunting! These animals deserve to live in peace, without humans chasing them. For the future of this planet and for our kids, please stop.

Hello, I am strongly against re-instating the spring bear hunt. This is a very cruel measure intended to benefit hunters and tourists. However, it is extremely cruel since it represents a death sentence for orphaned cubs.
