"Train and trial areas are enclosed areas on private land where certain wildlife (i.e. cottontail, snowshoe hare, red fox or coyote) are kept captive for the purposes of teaching dogs hunting skills .........."
This is another name for the cruel CANNED HUNTING.
Dog's can be trained without using such cruel inhumane methods that show total disregard for other creatures.
Hunting pens are unethical and inhumane. We should be on the path of phasing them out instead of reviving old archaic practices and continuing on with them. Instead of opening new facilities, we should immediately SHUT DOWN the existing 24 facilities that we have.
