I am completely against this. This is a disgusting example of animal cruelty. To have animals trapped without a chance of escape is effectively torture. I had no idea these training contests even existed and am horrified to know they do and that they are still being considered and expanded.
I consider it to be on par with dog fights just using a different animal.
There is no use for this in the majority of society. Any true hunters that rely on hunting for their own survival are not hunting those animals in a trapped space. They themselves are at risk and their dogs are to help protect them and to scent track the animal they are hunting for food.
They are NOT sending their dogs to win a trophy by killing another animal that is trapped in what is essentially a cage.
