Comment
I was pleased when previous governments restricted/banned future licences for these facilities that supposedly train dogs to chase and kill prey - foxes and coyotes. This measure to licence more of these penned hunting enclosures is a major step backward. There is no logical justification for this practice. Whether the dog just chases or is able to catch and kill the fox or coyote, it does so after causing stress to the fox or coyote.
Why would we (the public) allow dogs to be trained to kill with this proposed legislation?
I am disappointed with the Ontario Federation of Hunters and Fishers in supporting this cruel hunting approach. So much for respecting nature and the wildlife that it supports.
