I urge the government to deny this proposal on the grounds of animal cruelty. Provincial hunting laws must reflect and respect the values of biodiversity, respect for wildlife/natural ecosystems, and principles of fair “sportsmanship.” This proposal erodes these values at best, and represents values of cruelty, craven individualism and anthropocentrism at worst. It would be a shameful development. If you are unmoved by the suffering of wild animals, perhaps you could consider the fact that dogs will also suffer injury and death under this system.
