I think this proposal to make changes to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to allow dogs to be trained to kill or hunt other animals is absolutely abhorrent. The thought of enclosing wild animals to be cruelly hunted and killed by dogs makes me sick. Have we reverted to another time?? It is 2023, and the vast majority of people in this province are against animal cruelty in all forms. There is no need for hunting dogs in my opinion, even if there is some pathetic attempt to frame this as something that we need (due to some argument regarding "them" being problematic). Rabbits, foxes, coyotes and other wild animal deserve our respect (as part of the larger essential eco-system) and our compassion, as we continue to encroach and destroy their habitat. There are always more humane ways to deal with any over growth of an animal population. I implore you to reject this revolting amendment and show the citizens of this Province that we respect all forms of wildlife. Surely we can use our resources, intellect, and compassion to protect natural spaces and the animals that also call this land home.
