ERO number 019-3685

"Trial and training" domestic dogs using coyotes, foxes, rabbits, etc...that are bred for this purpose means that animals are being bred simply to inflict cruelty upon them. This is an unethical practice, and the current provincial government should continue to reduce, and eventually phase out, granting permits for this practice. This number of licenses should not be increased.

The justification that this is being done to minimize underground "trial and training" is an exercise in false logic. Instead, dog owners should be required to engage in "responsible owner training", and those that do not adhere to provincial policies should be prosecuted.
