I strongly oppose the training of dogs to hunt wildlife in penned facilities. Therefore, I reject the proposal to grant more licences for this purpose and propose that all existing penned training facilities be immediately shut down. Subjecting animals to terror and torment is cruel. Removing wild animals from their environment for this purpose is unethical and contrary to humane animal care.
Think about your own dog or a child's pet rabbit. How can this be any different. How sad that some humans think the suffering of animals is of no consequence. As well, by increasing the prey drive of pet dogs such animals will be more dangerous in all situations and will be more likely to attack other pet dogs and cats they encounter in general.
