I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.

It is inhumane, to capture or raise wildlife, solely for the purpose of training dogs to hunt them. More so it is a public health risk as exposure of dogs and people to wildlife, risks the transmission of zoonotic diseases. As seen from your regulatory impact assessment, this will bring no benefit to either the environment or the economy. All it will bring is unnecessary suffering for wild animals.
