t spring-bear-hunt-summary-report-en.pdf strongly suggests the decision not to proceed with the pilot hunt, was a political decision, not a decision based on science or balanced, effective management of Nova Scotia’s bear population.
The breakdown details that rural residents supported the hunt more than urban residents. That is understandable given those rural residents are, for the most part, the ones that deal with nuisance bear issues, not the general urban population. Furthermore, a large percentage of respondents against the hunt reported little to no knowledge of hunting practices, making them more susceptible to the erroneous notion that the hunt would result in more orphaned cubs than the fall season.
In fact, no relevant data regarding the species is contained in the report’s “rationale” for the termination of the proposed pilot hunt, including its potential effects on the agricultural sector. A hunt that would have provided further data for the prudent management of the species going forward.
