I am very much against…

I am very much against allowing new licenses for dog train and trial areas in Ontario, or anywhere really. This is both unbelievably cruel to the dogs being trained and to the wild animals caught and kept in pens for baiting the dogs. Or what you refer to as training the dogs. There was a good reason why this practice was restricted back in 1997 and nothing has changed since then. It is inhumane. I understand the need for grandfathering the licenses but they should not be allowed to be passed along to new license holders and new licenses should not be issued. Please think about this…you are trying to keep a very small proportion of the population happy who wants this abhorrent practice to continue vs. the large majority of your voters who do not. This completely falls under the harassment of wildlife as well.

I do not support this proposed amendment to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to allow new licenses for dog train and trial areas.
