I support this proposal as I believe Falconry helps support the wild bird population. Having these birds as hunting partners increased these wild birds likelyhood to survive their first winter. If they don't have a successful hunt they will be fed at the end of the day. These birds are banded and track by the ministery of natural resources and are always accounted for it. I have personally assisted a falconer on hunts and seen him check by the MNR. These birds can always be returned to the wild and the time they spent with humans does not impact their furture survival skills as all interactions are based off the birds instinct.
