1. I am against the proposal to allow the issuance of licences of new dog train and trial areas, and to allow the transfer of licences.
2. The Mike Harris PC government intended to phase out these train and trial areas after 1997 and I request that the present PC government follow through on this 25 year old intention and eliminate the licenses for the remaining 24 dog train and trial dog hunting pen areas. Twenty-five years is a ridiculously long phase-out period and this phase-out should no longer be allowed.
3. Penned dog train and trial areas cause extreme and unnecessary stress to the wild coyotes, foxes and rabbits that are used as live bait to train and compete the hunting dogs. This cruelty should not be supported.
4. Penned dog train and trial facilities are illegal in most of North America. Ontario should not be turning backwards to allow these animal cruelty practises that most of society opposes.
