This a cruel and barbaric activity, illegal in most of Canada and many US states. The animals are penned and have no chance of escape, being ripped apart by dogs. It is beyond comprehension why the Government of Ontario would even suggest the allowance of such an inhumane activity. This is not animal welfare and a throwback to the blood-thirst "sports" (and I use that term very loosely) of cock-fighting and bear-bating.

How MNRF is able to willing permitting such a thing, in my province, is truly mind-boggling. Has any consultation with Animal Welfare (such as PAWS) taken place?

I was born & raised in the Province of Ontario, am becoming deeply ashamed of admitting to that.

As a citizen and a registered voter, this will be remembered come the next election ... and I promise I will become very engaged in that in order to ensure the current sitting government is not re-elected.
