A ban on the cruel practice of having foxes, coyotes and rabbits used as live bait was implemented in 1997 and should not be reverse on ethical reasons.
Wildlife population can be controlled without having to use a way that cause unnecessary pain to the animals. It is a blood sport that is being banned in all parts of Canada (except Ontario), the United States and many other countries. It is incredibly cruel to the animals and most Canadians do not support such an activity.
The trapped animals may transmit diseases to the dogs, other animals and eventually humans causing a health risk. It was vastly discussed during the pandemic that wild animals should be left alone to minimize these risks.
It is a known fact that animals feel pain and we are morally obligated to recognize that.
