The Agenda With Steve Paikin Talks Bears

For the first time since 1999, Northern Ontario will see a spring bear hunt.

For the first time since 1999, Northern Ontario will see a spring bear hunt. Is the spring hunt the best way to promote public safety by controlling Ontario's bear population? Or is the spring hunt an unethical, unnecessary move?

The Agenda With Steve Paikin on the Spring Bear Hunt aired on March 20 and a discussion of pros and cons was had, while also attempting to bring the discussion down to the community level.

Participants:

  • David Orazietti, Minister Natural Resources;
  • Peter Politis, Mayor Town of Cochrane;
  • Mike McIntosh, Founder Bear With Us;
  • Mark Rykman, Senior Bioologist, OFAH;
  • Josef Hamnr, Professor, Cambrian College
