To whom it may concern,

I am adamantly against the proposal to allow new licenses for new dog and train areas. It was on its way to being phased out and that should continue. Dogs trained to hunt captive or non-captive prey for sport is outdated. Quite simply it is cruelty towards animals and should be banned. Fox hunting and bullfighting have been banned for the same reason. Hounds chasing and/or hunting hare, fox and coyotes is no different.

An argument has been made that if these areas are not legalized then the activity would be driven underground. This is completely flawed. Put more effort into stopping this unlawful activity.

A small special interest group should not get permission to do this. It is completely inhumane. Please stop this proposal! The vast majority of Ontarians would be against this proposal if they were made aware of it.
