I oppose the training of penned dogs to hunt wildlife. In particular, I oppose keeping wildlife penned up to be used, abused, over and over again by dogs learning to hunt. What kind of a "service" is this to hunters? I have never heard of such cruelty to keep wildlife penned up to be used as "bait" for dogs that are forced to hunt. I strongly oppose this cruel decision! If hunters are "allowed" to hunt, they should be doing this using their own means. Imagine a "school" to train hunting dogs? This is going much too far! Canada, a beautiful country, should have much, much higher standards for hunters to exercise their "sport". Our wildlife is suffering as it is by losing so much habitat; wildlife is disappearing. This "training centre" will only serve to speed up the loss of habitat and loss of wildlife. Does a rabbit, deer, or coyote have a chance to avoid being killed by a ruthless hunter who is accompanied by trained, hunting dogs. No, Canada, you are going too far. let's leave our wildlife to the wild, not to trained hunting dogs!
