I oppose the proposal by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to grant new and transferable licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. These areas are inhumane to the wild animals who are used as bait for dogs to learn how to hunt. Wildlife should be left alone in their natural habitats and not captured by hunters. It is particularly barbaric to exploit rabbits, coyotes, and foxes for dog training and competitions. The province should not accept new applications for train and trial areas after 25 years of moratorium. These areas are outdated and unacceptable in Ontario. The province should shut down the existing 24 areas without delay.
