I object to the increase in licenses. If the original intention was to eliminate them entirely, why is there suddenly a need for an increase? You state that it will not negatively affect the populations of these animals but how do you know what will happen in the future? We are supposed to be protecting our wildlife not issuing licenses to aid in the torture and killing of them. Will there be anything in the new regulations to enable the revocation of licenses if wildlife population numbers change? Will there be regular inspections of these facilities to ensure they are following regulations? We all know there are lots of regulations in all areas but how many of them are adhered to? I fail to see the need for this type of thing at all so certainly not an increase. There must be better ways of training dogs to track. And I will admit to a personal bias about the hunting of anything. It is a cruel and violent “sport” that is unacceptable and nothing that encourages it should be enabled by the government.
