Using wild animals as bait…

Using wild animals as bait to train dogs is cruel and barbaric. I was horrified when I first heard about this proposal on the news. What is the purpose of this service? Is it to provide trained dogs for trophy hunters? (which in itself should be illegal).

I grew up in an environment where people hunted and fished for their livelihood. Wildlife was respected and there was no need to terrorize animals to "train" dogs".

I am thoroughly disgusted by this proposal and would hope that the Ministry does not sell out the wildlife in this province for profit.
