Do not reinstate. Do not go back to 1997.
Trialing can be done without live animals. Wild animals do not need to be kept, bred, and hunted over and over to make a good hunting dog. Dogs can track urine, pelts, or other specific scents. A wild animal is not needed. How many of these prized hunting dogs are injured or die at these facilities? To go back is cruelty, plain and simple. Stick with the law as it was written. Let these places go obsolete. Hunters will adapt. Trainers will adapt. Most hunters don't have the funds for such places anyway. This is a cruel, rich persons idea of sport.
