I hereby state my firm rejection and disagreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow the creation of new licences and allow transfer of licences for train and trial areas here in Ontario.

This ministry has, in the past, denounced this barbaric behaviour as cruel and unjust towards the bunnies, foxes, and coyotes who suffer as consequence. In 1997, the ministry began phasing out this practice. If the ministry itself cannot condone such a practice, then it is surely not within its own values, let alone ours as a people. So why does the Premier intend to restore this practice?

Such a cruel and unusual practice does not align with the values we as citizens have in this province. We believe in the fair treatment of wildlife and equitable solutions that do not involve the suffering and mistreatment of Ontario’s wildlife.

Close all existing facilities that condone or have been authorized by your government to conduct these practices, and do so immediately.
