Comment
I vehemently disagree with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's proposal to permit new licences and licence transfers for train and experimental sites.
The wild animals that are subjected to various ways used to teach dogs to hunt at facilities for penned dog hunting are treated cruelly.
Never should hunters capture wild animals and keep them prisoner away from their natural habitats. Using rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as props for hunters to train their dogs and stage competitions is particularly cruel.
After 25 years, allowing applications for train and trial spaces is a significant step backward. Ontario has no business hosting these facilities.
The province's 24 current facilities ought to be shut down right away, not fresh applications.
