I wish to let the government know I oppose the proposed legislation to permit wild animals to be used to train dogs to be more efficient at hunting down wild animals. I would have thought that by 2023 we would have evolved to the point that we no longer, as a society, use animals to provide entertainment for hunters who want to use dogs for hunting. We share this planet with all species.
To put this in perspective, how would pet lovers react to their pets being traumatized by being used for a similiar purpose. You wouldn't even think it was okay to promote the continuation of these training centres. It is so disrespectful to condone this treatment of wild animals.
For most hunters this activity is 100% entertainment and nothing to do with survival! It boggles the mind that my government sees these centers as a good thing rather than a disgraceful abomination that needs to be phased out as originally intended in the earlier legislation.
