Trapping wildlife, holding them captive in pens they cannot escape from, then using them as bait for dogs to hunt - dogs driven by humans for profit - is not sporting nor can it be accurately called a sport.

So, be honest. It's not a sport.

Sports endorsed by our government must adhere to standards of sportsmanship: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sportsmanship

The proposed amendments to the Fish and Wildlife Protection Act will not protect wildlife. They rightfully attract disdain for the very standards the Act is intended to protect.

The practice the proposals aim to expand is akin to bull fighting. It's a practice that appeals to blood lust and sadism, torturing of captive vulnerable sentient beings. Why encourage that?

Why is the government even thinking of expanding this cruel and inhumane practice?

Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.
