As a young adult Ontarian who loves the outdoors and comfortably participates in hunting and fishing practices i vehemently oppose the use of hunting dogs in killing of animals. These dogs are loose and not controlled to reduce stress and disruption to surrounding environment. Hunting is a sport or hobby where the challenge should be for a person to harvest and animal, not for dogs to round up and harvest prey at will. An ethical hunter with gun or bow aims to execute an animal efficiently and effectively while overcoming that animals natural instincts and connection with its surrounding environment. A hunter can select targets and wait for a legal animal or better option. Dogs do not have this logic or foresight and their job is to chase down and kill wild animals.
