I would like to protest against the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's proposal to issue new licences for new trial and training areas and to allow the transfer of licences. New licences have not been issued for over 25 years and the reissuing of these licences is a step backward.

Wildlife is a shared Ontario resource for all. The trapping of wildlife and subjecting these animals to trained hunting dogs is an inhumane and cruel practice that does not appear to serve any purpose for the vast majority of Ontario residents.

When the Ministry of Natural Resources allows practices such as this then it is condoning the practice.

Ostensibly this proposal is meant to prevent the practice from going "under ground" Why then do we outlay cock-fighting?
