I am deeply concerned about Ontario's proposal to expand penned dog hunting, where dogs learn to track and kill captive animals.
How can this be called a "Sport?" The coyotes, rabbits and foxes are trapped, then put into pens with no escape to be terrorized, hunted and killed.
What's next???? Maybe a modern day Roman Colliseum where we can all come and watch animals be killed for our entertainment. It can only be described as barbaric.
I felt that the MNR was a protector of our natural resources. Hunting is one thing - I know it needs to be done for control. But this penned hunting is just not right.
You know when these people don't get a thrill out of hearing an animal cry, they will have to move on to something else, like maybe people.
How do we teach people to be caring individuals and have empathy for humanity?
Shutting this type of activity down is certainly a good place to start.
Please do the right thing.
