Thank you for allowing…

Thank you for allowing thoughts from the public on this proposal. While I understand that wildlife needs to be controlled in order to not become a danger to people, pets or livestock, I believe that wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. In my opinion it is
inhumane to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as bait to train dogs. Hunting dogs are bred for their abilities and purpose and with proper training and handling are capable of doing an excellent job without such cruel practices of hunting captive wildlife in train and trail facilities. Instead of allowing new applications, I would appreciate if the province’s existing 24 facilities would be closed. Thank you.
