Wild animals should not be used for the purpose of training or competitions, nor to exercise domesticated hunting dogs. I am certain that there are other, humane, methods that could be used to train and exercise these dogs.
The forced captivity of wild animals in fenced areas, as well as activities that involve the pursuit of these animals by dogs will cause them unnecessary stress, anxiety and fear. Wild animals should be left alone to live their lives freely in their natural habitats without interference by humans who seem to think that hunting other animals, for sport, is an honourable pastime. It is not.
No new train and trial areas should be approved by this or any other government. They were intended to be phased out over time, at their inception. It is long past time for this reprehensible practice to end.
