Hello,
I am worried that this proposal will increase suffering in wild animals. There appears to be opportunity for cruelty in the capture process, the penning and caring of the wild animals, and in being used for dog training - it sounds potentially barbaric what those captured must go through each step of the way. As a farmer with a livestock guardian dog, I am also unsure why this containment is necessary and why hunting dogs can't be trained out in nature rather than bringing nature in to an artificial environment where they will have a horrific experience. I don't really believe these animals are being contained in any kind of humane way. This feels like a step backwards in a civilized society that should be phased out rather than expanded.

Thank you for your consideration of my comment,

Alina
