Please do not hunt the bears or any other animals! They are God's creatures and we must respect them and their habitat! We have destroyed their habitat and their families too many years already
What you think of our proposal.
I think that your proposal is much too soft.
In this day and age it is less and less necessary to hunt for any reason.
Humans are the scourge of this planet....
My vote would be to end the black bear hunt permanently. There is a decline in numbers in this population and they are an incredibly important part of the ecosystem that needs to be protected.

IF the hunt is ABSOLUTELY necessary- change it to the fall,
Bears who are just waking up from hibernation should not be hunted, especially since that’s when their cubs are young
THE SPRING BEAR HUNT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
• There is NO evidence that a spring bear hunt will reduce the number of “problem bears”

As a biologist and veterinarian I strongly oppose the proposal to make the spring bear hunt permanent. Hunters will not distinguish between male and female bears.
Bears will be in a weakened state after hibernation.
The females will have cubs requiring maternal care.
This is not sport.

Why can humans not share the planet with nature and the animals? Kill the animals and cut the trees then look back at a later point in time and say oops, maybe we should have left that alone. A famous poet once said " what man touches, man destroys." Where's the sport in hunting?

I think the number of photographers who would want to see the bears would outnumber the hunters. Promoting pain and killing is also a weird thing for a government to do eh? Focus on the silent majority not the few with guns. No bear hunt period.

This is a death warrant for mother bears and cubs. Hunters struggle to distinguish between male and female bears, even at close range. Please leave these beautiful, majestic animals alone, and stop putting tourism and trophy hunting above decency.
I am greatly concerned that cubs will be orphaned and die. Asking hunters to not shoot female bears with cubs requires them to be able to identify the bear as female, which is hard to do. It also means that the hunters would need to do due diligence to ensure that no cubs were in the area.

Bring back a wolf tag on bear licence for non residents for an extra REASONABALE fee to assist moose and caribou populations and increase funding for wildlife aerial surveys with increased survey plot numbers to levels of 1970,s
I am a resident of Haliburton county with a large acreage bordering on crown land. I am completely opposed to the spring bear hunt. I dispute the claim that bear populations are healthy.

Please please let’s start the reparations to Mother Nature by protecting its animals... this is a step in the opposite direction for tourism profit??? No it is not necessary leave the hunting season the way it is and please consider reinstating the coyote hunting restriction while you’re at it!!
We do not need a black bear hunt!!!
With animals around the world going extinct this idea is preposterous!
Please stop this unnecessary slaughter of beautiful animals.
I would be happy to register, but this site refused my e-mail address, which is a perfectly good Ontario one. In any case, I live on Bruce Peninsula, and heartily support any move to reduce bear hunting there, or eliminate it altogether.
