Hello,

I firmly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s recent proposal to give new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trail areas in Ontario.

Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel and unnecessary, and should not be allowed. Wildlife should never be taken from their natural habitat and held captive by hunters. It’s particularly cruel to use rabbits, foxes and coyotes as pawns for hunters to train dogs for competitions.

Opening applications after 25 years is a massive step backwards. Rather than opening new applications, the existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.

Please consider to make a choice of reducing the unnecessary cruelty and suffering of these animals.

Thank you for considering a better choice for the future.

Patricia MacInnis
