I strongly reject 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.
Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt.
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. Wildlife are not bait, nor are they inanimate objects; they are sentient beings.
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. It is outdated, unnecessary, barbaric and not in keeping with the morality and ethics of the greater population of Ontarian's.
Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.
Please do what is right and what is expected by the majority of those who live in Ontario.
