I absolutely oppose the movement by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow step backs on these decades old fish and wildlife laws. This is a clearly barbaric practice that is cruel and so painfully unnecessary. These facilities should be getting closed, not phased out and definitely not expanded! The capture, confinement and inevitable totrure and inhumane death of sentient, intelligent, and eco system critical species, should be clearly recognized as antiquated and damaging both psychological for the dogs used as well the humans taking part. But the pure terror and pain those foxes, rabbits and coyotes must endure is truly mind boggling. If this act sees the changes the proposed I personally will never support or respect any Ontario fish and wildlife officials. The fact this is even being discussed is embarrassing. Use some real data on the damage being doing by animal agriculture instead of helping others inflict more strain and pain on an already burdened and terrorized eco system. The coyotes, foxes and rabbits are native self sustaining community members. The ranchers worried about their invasive cows horses and garden plots should be working with native ecology not against it. Hopefully someone there with a degree and half a heart and brain will ensure this changes never see the light of day. These dogs can be trained other ways. If it's harder for the owners, so be it. It's a "sport" and they can take the 10,000 hours it takes to perfect it without the undue suffering and damage penned training facilities attribute to.
