I absolutely reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. What on earth are you thinking?

Trapping a living animal and putting it in a penned area where it cannot escape and then letting dogs hunt and/or kill them is atrocious. THIS IS ANIMAL CRUELTY AT ITS WORST.

Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and to be held captive by hunters who have no respect for wildlife anyway. I dread to think how they are treated before they even get to these penned enclosures. How are the animals "trapped"? Are the hunter's methods monitored by the government?

I have always voted and campaigned for our current Premier and I cannot believe he is supporting this barbaric practice.

Also, all 24 of these torture facilities should be closed immediately. I'm sure that most people do not know about this and I am hoping that by promoting this issue on social media it will put pressure on the Premier and the kennel clubs to come up with better ways to train their dogs.
