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. The ministy is supposed to protect wildlife, not harm it. Using, capturing and harming any single animal is absolutely disgusting. I think you should try it on the organizers and see how they feel about being cooped up and then chased and attacked by an dog. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt. Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters ever! It's totally inhumane to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes or any animal as bait to train dogs. New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for society. These facilities have no place in Ontario or anywhere in the world. Instead of allowing new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately! Shame on you disgusting barbaric ignorant people.
