I firmly disagree with and reject the MNRF’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of existing licenses for trial and train areas in Ontario.
Penned dog hunting facilities are egregiously cruel and inhumane to the wild animals that are held captive and subjected to various methods in order to train domestic dogs.
Wild animals such as coyotes, foxes and rabbits should never be taken from their rightful environments and held captive in order to train dogs for hunting or hold competitions.
Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario!!
Instead of new applications and the transfer of existing licenses, the correct progressive course of action is to immediately CLOSE the existing 24 facilities and permanently BAN these operations!
I am personally appalled by this unnecessary and cruel practice. It’s legalized torture and should not be condoned or allowed by any 21st century government.
