I do not support the proposal to allow for the issuance of licenses for new dog train and trial areas and the transfer of licenses.
This is barbaric and violent and disturbing that the Ontario government would even consider this change. These facilities need to be abolished.

The violence of sport hunting very much reflects on the moral compass of the person. Are these people violent toward humans, children? There is direct correlation between violence against animals and violence against humans. Is Ontario really going to support this? I urge you not to. In fact, I would request that any remaining facilities be shut down immediately, and all licenses revoked.

There is no need for this type of dog training when there are many other ways such as using whistles or scents. And what happens to these dogs that are training? Are they a threat to public safety? Are they going to be stalking cats or small kids? Are they abused by their owners for fun? Or are they murdered after they do their job of murdering another animal in a terribly barbaric manner? If we have legislation against dog fighting, why is this any different? The people behind these actions are the same types of people, violent and abusive. Why is one condoned and the other not? It shouldn’t be. We need to stand strong AGAINST violence in this province.

PLEASE DO NOT PROCEED WITH THIS.
