While I understand training dogs to hunt wildlife may be necessary for some people, using captive wildlife for this training is inhumane and unethical. These animals can feel pain and should be treated no different from how we treat pets in our home. There must be an alternative method to dog train and trial areas than subjecting these intelligent animals to such an experiment and testing. At the very least, dogs can be trained on wild animals rather than captured wildlife, assuming the animals are promptly put out of suffering if the dog injures it. Please reconsider this proposal.
