Comment
* 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.
* Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters or trainers. This is completely unfair and any user who engages in this exercise places a conscious hierarchy of feeling superior to animals and exercising that control, simply because animals are a different species. It is completely and unequivocally inhumane to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as “bait” to train dogs.
* Confined dog hunting training facilities are cruel to the “bait” animals used, as it places a lot of stress on the animal each and every time they are used, not to mention potential life threatening injuries if these do indeed occur during the exercise (E.g. dogs killing or injuring prey, even accidentally during the chase).
* New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for society. These facilities have no place in Ontario.
