It is archaic and inhumane…

It is archaic and inhumane to train dogs by using live animals as bait. With today's technology, I'm sure it is possible to create life-like decoys to use for training.

I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.
Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt. Just imagine the fear those animals are being subjected to. And just so dogs can be trained to hunt them down for no reason other than some person's pleasure.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters or anyone. We are already causing harm and extinctions of species by destroying their habitats. We need to be protecting it.
It is inhumane to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes or any animal/creature as bait to train dogs.
New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for society. These facilities have no place in Ontario.
Instead of allowing new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately
