I completely object to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. The practice of trapping and penning wildlife of any kind to train hunting dogs is barbaric!

Putting wild animals in a confined space and then allowing dogs to terrorise them with no means of escape is beyond cruel and inhumane. Surely, we have progressed beyond this kind of treatment of animals by now.

Why, after 25 years (a quarter of a century) would you even think of taking this backward step? In fact, why are these facilities still allowed to exist?

We are better than this, aren't we?
