Allowing live wild animals as bait in canned hunts / penned areas for dogs to train is a disturbing development in conservation and stewardship. There is no good reason to allow domestic dogs to hunt, hurt, and kill wolf animals in confined spaces. Training them to kill wildlife in such circumstances is not safe but can promote the spread of zoonoses.
It seems very against any animal welfare legislation and goes against wildlife regulations that prohibit wildlife from being moved from their habitat.
Instead of allowing hunters more opportunity to hurt wildlife and deuce their populations for non-necessary reasons (hunting for sport is not a necessity) the government should be focusing on expanding wildlife habitat.
Soon we will have no forests and no wildlife if we keep making regulations that favour destroying all that is wild at the pleasure of hunters and luxury homeowners.
