Hunting and killing wildlife in an enclosed pen is an absolutely ghastly and cruel form of entertainment, and I WHOLEHEARTEDLY OPPOSE THE PROPOSAL FROM THE MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND FORESTRY TO ALLOW NEW LICENSES AND THE TRANSFER OF LICENSES FOR 'TRAIN AND TRIAL' PENS IN ONTARIO.

This practice has been outlawed in most jurisdictions in North America because it's barbaric cruelty to wildlife, all for blood entertainment. This practice has no place in Ontario in 2023, and it's essential that licenses for this practice are continued to allow to expire until there are none left.

I have lived in Ontario my whole life, and I cannot believe an Ontario government would consider supporting and encouraging this inhumane treatment of wild animals.

If the Ontario government's concern is that this barbaric cruelty will be taken 'underground' by the dog owners, then ensure that doesn't happen by undertaking strict enforcement and penalties for lawbreakers.
