I was honestly, truly…

I was honestly, truly horrified when I saw a video recently of what the "sport" of penned hunting entails. I am truly in disbelief that there are still individuals who are trying to advocate for cruel and barbaric ways of killing animals for "entertainment". I thought we were past things like this in Canada.

This is the first time I've been compelled to specifically write (multiple) government officials. I never would have thought this actually needed comment, because it is so clearly a cruel and needless practice. I was shocked when I heard that lifting the ban on this and allowing new "train and trial areas" is being considered in Ontario.

I think the fact that this is being tabled and that this practice may be still allowed in our country is disgusting and embarrassing.

I urge you to consider and reflect on the fact that this does NOT reflect the values of most Canadians, and is a needless and violent pastime.
