With respect to hunting, there is no need for Ontario to allow dogs to train on captive wildlife.
Around the globe, countries are reducing or outright banning similar practices, recognizing them as barbaric and unnecessarily cruel. As this proposal notes, the financial benefits are likely neutral.

Why would this province become an outlier in promoting and permitting the torture of wildlife? Hunting of wildlife is already permitted (with restrictions on the use of cruel or unfair practices such as scent-baiting deer).

There is no reason to expand hunting practices in this regard.
