I am vehemently opposed to 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.

These are cruel and outdated facilities. Let's not go backwards. These activities have been banned for the last 25 years and should continue to be banned. Indeed, the 24 facilities grandfathered at that time should be closed immediately.

Wild animals suffer from being subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt.

It is especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.

These activities remove wildlife from their natural environments and see them held captive by hunters. This should never happen.

These facilities have no place in Ontario.
