A penned hunt is not a "hunt" when wild animals are in an enclosure and torn apart or shot. It is brutal and inhumane. I still don't understand why dogs are used for this kind of activity. There is absolutely no need for it. This is another example of humans satisfying their bloodlust at the expense of our wildlife. Taking coyotes, foxes and rabbits from their natural environments to be used in this way is abhorrent. Allowing applications to train dogs this way is archaic. Why can't Ontario be as progressive as other provinces when it comes to co-existing and appreciating wildlife. Ontario is proving once again just how antiquated the considerations and processes are when wildlife is involved. Allowing new penned hunting licenses is not only an embarrassment to the province, but will also be an embarrassment on a national, and perhaps even international, level. Shameful.
