These train and trial facilities are archaic, cruel, and should continue to be phased out as was initially planned. Nothing has changed about the nature of them to warrant reconsidering this and expanding the licensing, perhaps besides the politics and the lobbying efforts of a select small group of individuals. These facilities essentially trap and abuse wild animals, and regardless of whether or not the populations of the affected animals are sustainable at the moment, that does not mean that the practice isn't harmful and should be kept up.

It would be shameful of the ministry to pass such a thing, and would seem to fly in the face of what the ministry stands for and is meant to uphold. Please don't let politics come before the well-being of our wildlife. No one but a tiny subset of the population would want this, so not sure who stands to gain by appeasing them.
