Dear Trusted People in Charge of the Welfare of Animals,

I found this on Twitter and I am now so ashamed to live in Ontario because of this (and a few more of Premier Ford's outrageous, anti-environmental ideas). Who, in their right mind, would keep wild animals penned up without any way of escaping the jaws of an enraged dog? This is absolutely cruel to wild animals and not very Canadian-like at all.

Whoever dreams up these ideas must be absolutely out of their minds and in need of psychological attention. To put wild animals in harms way ON PURPOSE like this is the most inhumane idea I've ever heard of. It's absolutely appalling!

What with horses dying needlessly at the race track (have you read the news lately?) and the way they are killed needlessly during the chuck wagon races at the Calgary Stampede, surely the Ontario Government can do a lot better than that.

I'd like to know what PETA and SPCA would have to say about this? Do they even have a voice at all in this case? Well, I think it's time they knew about it.

I'm hoping that the Province of Ontario would think less about the bottom dollar and consider the feelings of harmless animals for a change. If house cats are allowed to run around free, then why not coyotes, foxes and rabbits, too?! "Live and let live" - please don't allow this licensing nonsense to pass by this plea for our wild life's safety and fair treatment.

Thank you!
