In a world where so many things are reversing course and moving backwards, how can we even be considering such a proposal. This is the most inhumane practice I have ever heard. I’m shocked to even know that it exists/existed. The fact that your government is now advocating that such practices be expanded is beyond imaginable to me. Never in my 53 years, have I seen such a barbaric proposal from a government in Canada/Ontario. I can guarantee you that I will never vote conservative ever again if this passes. For those of you reading this feedback, imagine the stress and cruelty to these unsuspecting animals. This is beyond cruel. It’s insane and it should not pass.

I firmly reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario.
Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.
Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario.
Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.
