Ban On Spring Bear Hunting In Ontario Questioned





Many Canadians are blaming the significant increase in black bear sightings and unwanted encounters in Ontario on the provincial ban on spring black bear hunting that was put in place in the late 1990s. The hunt kept the population in check with a culling of 5,000 animals and injected considerable money into the local economy. In Marathon, the bears have become so numerous, large and fearless, children must wear whistles when they go outside. Marathon's mayor thinks a hunt would help curb the population and if action is not taken quickly, the crisis could spiral out of control.
