So disturbing to know these brutal facilities still exist, let alone to learn of the Ministry contemplating allowing more to open. To permit the torture/killing of wildlife, in the name of 'sport' is beyond revolting. I reiterate the following valid points:
"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."
The more this information of this intent becomes known to the public, the less public support there will be for the Ministry.
