Please do not have the hint nor expand it. The lack of protection for our wildlife is already negligent and subpar when compared to many countries working hard to restore balance from habitat loss and species preservation.

I think it is cruel and unnecessary to allow a spring bear hunt, when female bears are raising and nursing cubs. Although the proposed law makes it illegal to shoot female bears with cubs, mistakes will happen and cubs will be orphaned and most will starve to death.

In response to the proposal “to implement a regular spring black bear season, shorten the Bruce Peninsula black bear hunting season”, we wish to make the following comments for your consideration and immediate action.

I completely disagree with changes that would allow for a spring bear bunt. Although I understand that there will be penalties for hunters who kill mother bears, those penalties will not help the cubs after the fact.

As a resident of Ontario, I ask that you cancel the spring black bear hunt this year and all future years. Please leave these animals alone. We have already taken over so much of their habitat. If they are problematic you can trap and rehome them to another area.
Thank you.
I have already written to the Minister regarding implementing a permanent spring bear hunt, which
I oppose.
Reading the material on this website, I am still asking that no spring bear hunt occur in any place in

I do not support a spring bear hunt, please consider cancelling it permanently.
A hunter cannot differentiate between a male or female bear, the killing of a mother bear would leave the cubs abandoned and induce immense suffering to them.
Please cancel the spring bear hunt.
Thank you
Please DO NOT do this. Bears are intellegent sentient creatures. It goes against human decency to shoot God's creatures for fun.
PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS>
I believe that the spring bear hunt should be banned in all areas. There is no way a hunter can tell the difference between a female or male bear. Females are out in the spring, forging for food and their young are left helpless, awaiting their return.

I have bear hunted in Ontario since 2002 and the first six years or so I hunted with different outfitters and my problem is my work makes it hard to schedule and I am limited to six days and I like to spend more time in the woods than that so I bought land and have enjoyed the hunt ever since.

I can't fathom why a bear hunt should exist to begin with. The murder of these beautiful creatures is abhorrent. Furthermore,the use of hounds/dogs to chase, tree and/or otherwise harass bears should be immediately halted.

I am totally against the spring bear hunt as it orphans bear cubs, who will subsequently die a horrible death due to starvation. It is not possible for hunters to distinguish between male and females bears at a safe distance. I also am against the baiting of bears or the use of dogs in hunting.

It seems to be a no brainer if scientists are indicating we have a decline in bear population. If one of the reasons given is human caused mortality, it makes no sense to encourage more hunting on the Peninsula. The peninsula was a well kept secret for a long time but no longer.

How dare you think you have the right to organize a cold blooded kill like this! These animals have every right to walk this earth and feel safe. What about their babies? You should be ashamed! Stop this please!!! Listen to the people who are begging you for their right to live!!!
Knowing hunters personally and listening to their comments, I feel that there are not enough trained law enforcement personnel to enforce laws and stop abuses and atrocities.

I absolutely DO NOT support any spring bear hunt. A killed female bear will leave behind Cubs in the den left to die of starvation...how barbaric... :(
