Penned hunting facilities…

Penned hunting facilities are inhumane. No wild animals should be taken from their natural habitat / home and and tortured for the purposes of training another animal to track and kill the animal that has been taken captive. Hunting with dogs that are not trained properly can lead to more aggression in the animals towards other dogs and humans.

However I do understand that hunting and hunting with dogs is part of some people cultural identity and how some feed their family so banning the sport completely is not an option.

The Government should be focusing on making sure the facilities with the current licenses are prioritizing the health and well being of the captive animals as well as the proper training of the dogs being trained to hunt and not trying to increase people accesses to a sport that is barbaric.
