This is an outdated and inhumane practice and should be altogether banned. It would be in all our best interest to put the time, effort and money into providing education on conserving and protecting our wildlife and natural resources. We are still treating our incredible Canadian wilderness as if it were limitless and certainly in this day and age of understanding the perilous position we are in as a global community we should place the focus on protecting and nurturing what we have. Selling off our wildlife to the highest paying hunter until there are no more is outdated and barbaric. We are in a position to show by example to the rest of our world how to make the cohabitation of wildlife and humanity work. The practice of putting animals in an enclosed environment and "teaching" hunting dogs to rip them apart is a barbaric practice and akin to shooting fish in a barrel. Time to get with the new program of limiting hunting and promoting conservation efforts that support wildlife and carve new programs/pathways that provide an opportunity for wildlife to thrive while educating people on practical solutions for cohabitation.
