It is appalling to me that the Ministry of Natural Resources is proposing to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario.What a backwards step - who is pressuring the government for this?
Natural Resources means stewardship of our resources including the animals. It means respect and care for wild animals. What a disgusting thought to propose wild animals be caught and bought to be penned in so people with hunting dogs can practice.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.
Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a MASSIVE STEP BACKWARD into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario.
The province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.
