I certainly firmly reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licences for train and trial areas in Ontario, Canada.

Cruelty towards all animals — including wild animals like foxes, rabbits and coyotes — is a terrible sign of barbaric behaviour that should not be condoned in the 21stC, especially with regard to “penned” dog hunting facilities where wild animals are trapped and suffer a horrific fate. Shame on all of you for even considering holding competitions where you applaud such primitive sport. It should be outlawed; participants heavily fined, and even jailed.

I urge you to immediately close all existing 24 penned dog hunting facilities and not open any more of their kind!

In the name of God, move on to something more civilized, like training dogs to be sociable and loving; to help the handicapped and vulnerable in society. Put your spare time towards something useful that all living beings can benefit from.
