This is horrific and barbaric. How in 2023 where there is so much scientific evidence as to the importance of canids to ecosystem balance and the health of the environment for all species including humans, is this even being considered?

Allowing canids to be hunted, not to mention in such a barbaric and cruel way, also denies overwhelming evidence that this only causes an imbalance that drives an increase in reproduction. Livestock conflicts are not mitigated , but further increase as territories are taken over by new canids not familiar with the methods of farmers , such a guardian dogs or fencing to establish boundaries.

I see no benefit to an increase in these training facilities, but for a minority, and only an increase in human/canid conflicts.
