I totally do not agree with this proposal to increase the number of training areas for dogs in Ontario, firstly because wild animals are trapped and harassed, and probably hurt, when they are already stressed by human invasion and development in their habitats. Secondly, we have so many species at risk, that this could be a major impact on their future well-being. For the government to support this somewhat elite sport of dog trials is reprehensible. Even though rules are in place, who is out in the wild enforcing them?
This whole proposal should be stopped, and dog trials using captured animals banned.
