As I understand it, the goal is to legalize an activity instead of expending resources to enforce a rightful legal prohibition. As a regulated activity the government tells us it is critically less inhumane, And likely it is amoral. AS IF hunting of non-domesticated animals by pet dogs is desirable, inevitable, and a "sport".

But then what can be expected of this Premier and government.

One thing is for sure, Ontario's natural resources ministry is taking a beating mandate-wise and needs more to do. That is, as long as it does not involve safeguarding natural resources including those 33 "species at risk" in federal law that will be negatively impacted by opening for development the 17,000 square KMs called the "Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve". Afterall, the "DRAP" is already largely industrial, as it contains 4,942 acres of "prime agricultural land" (Source: Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, 22/11/22). Of course the question arises, with the loss of an UNBELIEVABLE amount of prime agricultural land every day in the past two years, who exactly will feed our cities, including our kids and their children after a decade or two?

A final thought or two on the "Training and Trialing Compounds" for pet dogs? Industrial areas would be healthier than pens. My Mafia upbringing and fervent Gnosticism tell me: if no masturbation, then no sin. Go.

On this government's treatment of Nature in general, the truth is, they are right: the greenbelt is an industrial agricultural zone. There is "almost" no nature left to S. Ont.. We are so deeply embarrassed by Niagara Falls the eponymous downtown is a carnival. Our maritime areas are being exploited with "untreated" raw sewage, a misnomer really. Guelph where I live has two intersecting rivers but otherwise no idea what a trail is or why it is needed.

Truth is, the Ontario of today will be a Garden of Eden in 30 years.

Truth is, a wasteful luxury spa spanning 700,000 square feet serviced by a five-storey underground parking lot on an island in the City is starting to look very appealing as a means to: immerse oneself in and commune with nature. Home sweet home!

I hope they have my “hillbilly music” I adore so well after a day of hunting with my dogs!

Yeah I do want to share a website, below. Call it a pleasant stroll down memory lane with the Ontario PCs. Recall Premier Ford personally vowed to help ease restrictions on pit bull breeds even further in 2021 after his government lifted an effective ban on the ownership of four breeds, and any dog that looks substantially similar. Have a peak at what a substantially similar dog looks like....

Such disrespect for both Nature and humans with this "populist" Premier is I believe a major barrier in one's capacity to love. There is little one can actually do to walk it back.

Have a nice day!
