Proposal to allow the issuance of licences for new dog train and trial areas and the transfer of licences.

I first want to say that I find this posting less than transparent. I am an educated person and could not make clear sense of this proposal and how it related to coyote annihilation.

In an era of scientific advancements, one would think there would be several options to assist with this problem. If in fact areas are penned then the culling of coyotes could be achieved by baiting, shooting, euthanizing to name three. The over-population of any species needs to be addressed be it animal or plant and accomplished in a humane and instant fashion.

As well, the trainers of these so called "hunting dogs" also concerns me. The mental acumen of such an individual is not solely ingrained upon these sad "hunters" but this inhumane mindset speaks also to how many individuals are treated.

To think that our provincial government would kow-tow to such a group of individuals is alarming and horrifically sad. I liken it to the Arab spring where individuals were penned and set on fire. Surely, our provincial government can do better.

This will certainly make me rethink my voting habit come the next election.
