I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters.
Captive wildlife should never be used for training activities. It is no different than using animals in cosmetic or other testing for scientific purposes, or using animals in enclosed sporting activities. Indigenous and other tribes, and even hunters in biblical times, only hunted wild animals for survival purposes, and this was done within a free range. Even within the animal kingdom, survival of the fittest is always within a free range.
New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for society. These facilities have no place in Canada.
Instead of allowing new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities should be closed immediately.
