I believe this is a great decision and opportunity. This allows for the training of hounds in a controlled environment. Away from traffic and outside elements that can interfere with the safety of the hounds and the handlers of said hounds. As a younger hound handler in the sport it is imperative to have the opportunity to have facilities like this. The more the better. Limiting or reducing these facilities only puts added pressure to already stressed locations. The existing locations are over run with those trying to get in to such places. Which in turn puts added and undo stress on the game with in the facility. The amendment may also allow for young handlers to have more choices that may very well be closer to them. Which allows them to participate more if able to? As an individual from Southwestern Ontario that recently had to step away from the handling of hounds due to the distance to the closest facility. Or ability to get in to a closer one because it was already full. I found myself traveling 4.5hrs at times in the past to allow me to find a safe and secure place to train and handle my hounds. Which limited my ability to spend time with my wife as well as the added cost of such distance. Fuel, vehicle wear and tear and any additional expenses incurred during the travels. Priced my son and I out of a activity that we loved and shared together. It also took away from the history that had been shared to me and I hoped to pass along to my children. I FULLY support this amendment.
My only concern is the 90day limitation. Other than that I believe this is conducive to quality training in a safe and secure manner for both hounds and the game mentioned in the proposal.
