PLEASE do not allow continued hunting and trapping of animals - black bears especially- it is cruel, in humane and most of the time the cubs of those killed are left to fend on their own and die.
Leave nature as it was intended to be
Hunters often struggle to pinpoint the difference between a male and female black bear, and risk killing a mother bear during the spring season – orphaning her cubs who are too young to survive on their own. This will not be beneficial for the species, and in turn the ecosystem, as a whole.

Hunting is something that connects us to the past and with nature.
Humans have been hunting and hopefully will continue to hunt forever.
That being said if hunting becomes detrimental to the species we like to hunt it will all end.
This is a downward spiral I want to avoid.

I urge the Ontario government to cancel the province's Spring Bear Hunt completely. There was no legitimate rationale for partial reinstatement of the spring bear hunt by the previous government and there is none now. Please, do not follow through with this misguided plan.

I am against reinstating the spring black bear hunting season. The ban on killing cubs and female bears with cubs is an easily-ignored formality. The cubs need their mama to survive. The only way to truly protect cubs is to ban a spring hunt.
Hunters often struggle to pinpoint the difference between a male and female black bear, and risk killing a mother bear during the spring season – orphaning her cubs who are too young to survive on their own. This should be reason enough to permanently halt the black bear spring hunting season.

Hi there
Due to the challenge in identifying the difference between male and female black bears, it is highly likely that nursing mother bears will be killed in spring hunting season, orphaning babies. This is just inherently cruel. Please reconsider this spring hunt.
Please do not allow black bears to be killed. It is not the fault of bears that we are constantly encroaching on their homes and hunting their primary food source. All hunting should be banned in Ontario.

We are proposing to implement a regular spring black bear season, shorten the Bruce Peninsula black bear hunting season, and make other minor updates to black bear regulations.
I voted for Doug Ford because I honestly thought he was more about people than profit. SInce then his policies regarding our wildlife and natural habitats have utterly disgusted me. He seems no different then every other politician.

I would like to see the spring bear season extended from the closing date June 15th to June 30th. I have hunted bears on the Black Bay Peninsula Enhanced Management Area ( BBP EMAUnit 14).

I oppose this because it is almost impossible for hunters to distinguish male black bears from female black bears, thus many hunters will inadvertantly kill mother bears which will result in the death of the cubs. I can't comprehend why this is okay (hint: it's not).
Please DO NOT reinstate a spring black bear hunt. The mama bears deserve the time to raise their babies, and the babies desperately need their mamas!

Male and female bears are not distinct enough to distinguish and this risks the lives of cubs. Killing an animal unless it is for survival or self-defence is disgusting.
