I think a spring bear hunt is an insane idea! Cubs are born in spring and I can only imagine the horrible deaths that some of them might have to endure if their mother is killed. Slow starvation in their den, waiting for her to come home. Who's bright idea was this??????

As a resident of Northern Ontario I fully support the permanent return of the Spring Bear Hunt in Ontario. It will provide much needed tourist dollars and jobs to the economy of Northern Ontario. (something that is needed)

Why are we even considering a bear hunt. Do your homework. They are not a threat to humans. Humans are the real threat. Get your priorities straight. Mother nature is in need of protecting not killing.
Spring hunts are unethical and cruel. Hunting babies and their mothers... are we That soulless now?
Show the world somehow that Toronto Conservatives are not demons for once.
The Spring Bear Hunt should be abolished. Females with cubs must be “truly” protected and The only way to do that is to not have a spring bear hunt.

To those who support any bear hunt i.e. because bears are coming too close to residential areas etc ... please remember who was there first. We humans are relentlessly encroaching on THEIR territory. We humans are polluting their waters. We humans remain at the root cause of all the world ills.

My father is a nonresident and pays taxes on the land he owns in Ontario. He is an avid outdoorsman and passionate about black bear hunting. For the past 20+ years he has bought a bear license and used HIS land that HE pays taxes on to enjoy his passion for black bear hunting.

Greetings,
The spring bear hunt should be banned because the risk to orphan cubs is unacceptable - period.
While I am not a hunter, I have family and friends that do hunt, and even they believe the spring bear hunt is cruel for that exact reason.

I completely oppose the idea of bringing back the bear hunt ... it's nothing but animal cruelty - THEY WERE THERE FIRST and humans need to find a way to do-exist with them - or MOVE elsewhere.
As an animal worker and resident of Ontario I strongly oppose these proposed changes to the black bear hunting regulations. They are cruel and misguided.

Years ago the people of Ontario worked with Robert Schad of Huskey to BAN this spring hunt. Schad thought this hunt was an atrocity leaving bear cubs orphaned and unable to care for themselves, or before they learnt behavior from their mothers how to find food.

DO NOT open the spring bear hunt. This misguided proposal is not based on scientific evidence and depends upon hunters determining the sex of the bears before shooting them so as not to cause orphan cubs. This is not an acceptable way of allowing hunting.
There should be no further extension for bear hunting in the spring. It would leave too many orphaned cubs in the countryside and that is not good environmentally. There are few wildlife sancturies and each one is trying hard to keep going.
