I firmly reject 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.
Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.
Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario.
Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.
Training dogs in this manner will make the dogs extremely dangerous to children and family pets. You will be creating bloodthirsty killing machines out animals that just want love and fun. This is a huge step backwards for our humanity. Please reach deep down inside yourselves and find at least a small spark of love and compassion for your fellow beings on this beautiful earth. Can you try for once not to be so soul destroyingly destructive and bloodthirsty yourselves? Can you try to reach for the best within you and others to uplift and inspire rather than drag yourselves and the rest of us through your blood, filth and grime.
