Comment
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's suggestion to allow new permits and licence transfers for train and experimental sites is something I strongly disagree with. The wild animals that are subjected to the various ways used to teach dogs to hunt are cruelly treated in penned dog hunting facilities. Hunters should never seize wild animals and hold them captive outside of their natural habitats. It is especially brutal when hunters use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as props to teach their dogs and set up competitions. After 25 years, allowing applications for train and trial spaces is a significant step backward. Ontario has no business hosting these facilities. The province's 24 current facilities ought to be shut down right away, not fresh applications.
