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.

I sincerely hope you will act on this matter with the wellbeing of wild animals as your priority as the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. Conserving nature, protecting wildlife and listening to the people of Ontario who care about Nature is an honourable responsibility. I hope the Minister will speak up against those who would do harm to nature and wildlife and never allow train and trial areas to operate.
