Greetings All,
I thought I would pass this on. I heard about this last week and received further details this morning. Please check out the Minitry's Web site and write, call or email them immediately. Regards, JH ____________ SPRING BEAR HUNTING IN ONTARIO HAS BEEN OUTLAWED! In a sudden move by the Ontario Natural Resources Ministry, spring bearhunting has been outlawed effective immediately! The reasoning was apparently based on emotional reasons and animal rights activists rather than scientific knowledge. Officially it is to protect sows with cubs, however the vast majority of responsible hunters would not even consider shooting a sow with cubs. This law applies to all forms of bear hunting, baiting, hounds, and stalking. ----------------------------------------------------- As hunting enthusiasts, we feel it's our job to keep you informed of the various legislative issues that affect hunting. Modern technology such as the Internet has allowed us to form a tighter hunting community to protect our sport. This e-mail message has been sent to over 60,000 hunters who have expressed interest in this information. If you love the sport of hunting as much as we do, then you'll take the time to make your opinion known to the people responsible for this decision. We need to act now as a group, because the Ministry is accepting written comments on this proposal only until February 20, 1999. Comments should be directed to the following Contact Person: John Snobelen Minister of Natural Resources 6th Floor, Whitney Block, 99 Wellesley Street West Toronto, Ontario, M7A 1W3 PHONE: (705) 755-1902 FAX: (705) 755-2117 AND PREMIER Mike Harris Queens Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A1 fax 416-325-7578 Ph 416-325-1941 The official website of the Ministry of Ontario: http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca |
