As a result of the government’s decision, Nova Scotia can proudly remain the only province in Canada with a bear population not to hold a spring bear hunt.

Key Points:

As a result of the government’s decision, Nova Scotia can proudly remain the only province in Canada with a bear population not to hold a spring bear hunt.
That will save the lives not only of countless adult black bears, but young cubs orphaned and left to die when—inevitably—mother bears are shot and killed.
“Most wildlife we once had on our planet are gone,” observed Liz White, a Director of Animal Alliance in urging Nova Scotians not to institute a spring bear hunt.
“We don’t know how many cubs will be orphaned,” says fellow Director Barry Kent MacKay, “but one is too many.”
The Animal Alliance of Canada is glad to know that cubs in Nova Scotia will not be among them.
