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. Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately. This train and trial practice is unnecessarily barbaric and another example of how the Ford government is regressing our province. Wild animals should not be held captive for the promotion of human amusement. These animals are not domesticated species and therefore should not be captive for any reason other than rehabilitation. Not to mention the cruel process of trapping them for the purpose of maiming and likely killing them in a painful prolonged manner. This goes beyond simply hunting which itself can be considered questionable in some cases, but not always inherently inhumane. No doubt the alleged requests to reinstate this abhorrent practice comes from some influential special interest group, considering most reasonable people would understand how ridiculous such a proposal is. Cancel this proposal and consider the wellbeing of the province as a whole for once.
