I'm writing today because I completely oppose this proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario.

It is beyond comprehension that the Ontario government wants to go backwards on this issue. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals subjected to these shocking methods.

Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.

These facilities have no place in Ontario. Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.

This will be a horrific legacy for this government if it is allowed to pass.
