This is a horrific proposal as animal welfare and animal advocates work to fight for animals the governments of Canada, both federal and provincial, consistently thwart all efforts. This is nothing more than glorified dog fighting using animals as bait to train dogs to track, rip apart and kill wildlife for the almighty tourist dollar. Dog fighting is illegal and not only does the government not do anything to stop it you are now tacitly allowing it by even considering something as horrendous as this. While we are talking about the subject of cruelty to animals governments should also consider stopping the practice of paying people $150 per dog to carry out dog culls on Federal Reserve land and put that money into education, spay/neuter programs, training Northern residents in veterinary care and helping rescues and advocates who are tired and overwhelmed.
Rather than allowing these amendments all current training facilities should immediately be closed and this historic, abhorrent and inhumane practice put in the past where it belongs.
