I never thought I'd see the day when Ontario would become as bad as some other countries, who allow canned hunts, the mere idea that it is being proposed is preposterous and disgraceful. When did the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry decide that they are God and have the right to consider and allow such a disgusting idea and call it sport which it certainly isn't. Dogs don't need to be trained for this kind of thing, it's barbaric and inhumane. Then there is the whole matter of raising wild animals who aren't going to actually be allowed to be wild, so that some sick minded individuals can get their kicks by allowing their dog to supposedly hunt and kill said animals in a penned area.
As an Ontario resident I am thoroughly against this and hope that anyone who could even consider it as something to be allowed, do some deep soul searching. There is no reason to continue with this type of thing in this day and age.
If allowed who is going to oversee to make sure that animals aren't misused or killed inhumanely in the name of so called training to hunt, etc. There is no guarantees to insure rules will be followed if this change in the act goes ahead.
I suspect the majority of Ontarians, would say leave things as they are because the changing of this isn't in the best interest of anyone in the long run.
