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 is barbaric. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters, and it is beyond cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as "sport" and "entertainment" for hunters to train dogs.
There is no need for these facilities. In fact, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.
