This is a completely unnecessary practice. For many, hunting is just a sport. This proposal even mentions sport events like trials. A quote from a CTV article on this issue/proposal: "Hunters say there is a growing demand for the dog sport, which is often referred to as training and trialing." In the mean time, it is promoting an activity that is barbaric and inhumane to the wild animals involved. For no legitimate reason. The same article states that "The province's natural resources and forestry minister said the government wants to allow more of the hunting facilities to prevent the sport from moving underground." How about cracking down on facilities/owners who partake in these illegal activities? How about increasing and enforcing fines? To placate a group of people who torment animals for sport we are going to legalize their practices?!
