When will the Ontario…

When will the Ontario government take a stand against hunting cruelty that is inflicted on our native wildlife? I firmly reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario.
Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt.
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.
Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario.
Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately. Thousands of coyotes are slaughtered every year. Either by a pure hate for the animal, in traps, coyote culls and now you want to reintroduce hunting with dogs.
Please reconsider your actions and just say no. Be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Make Ontario proud and defend wildlife not kill it.
Just more $$$ in government coffers not unlike the spring bear hunt.
