I am very concerned about…

I am very concerned about the proposed legislation 019-3685 which would allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. These operations were phased out 1997 and 24 of these facilities are still operating in this province. These facilities use hunting pens to train hunting dogs , and require the capture and abuse of wildlife. Wild animals are subjected to great suffering in these facilities and there is no place for this kind of cruelty in today's society. It is unfortunate that our government seems to think there may be a place for this kind of cruelty. All of these train and trial facilities should be closed and no new ones opened. Hunting pens are inhumane and unethical. Ethical hunters do not promote cruelty to wildlife. This proposal 019-3685 for further licenses to promote cruel practices should be rejected!!

I was unable to make use of the usual computer process to make comments on this proposed legislation on the Environmental Registry. I have no need for any special privacy procedures and I have no problem being identified with my comments. Thanking you for this opportunity to comment on this legislation.
