We are a non-profit animal welfare organization, and we are greatly opposed to the issuance of new licences for dog train and trial areas.

Using captive wildlife as bait for hunting dogs subjects the wildlife to unnecessary fear and distress, as well as physical pain and suffering if the animal is caught and killed by a dog. This should be considered as illegal, being contrary to section 445.1(1) of the Criminal Code which prohibits causing unnecessary suffering to animals.

The provincial government should be working towards making Ontario a more humane and compassionate place, rather than moving in the opposite direction.
