I am surprised that a progressive country like Canada would allow a cruel, barbaric system for training dogs. My first question is, “what are these dogs being trained for?”.
The public is governed under law for the mistreatment of animals, so why would we permit wild animals to be caged and set up to be killed. It seems to me that the wild animals are at a significant disadvantage in a penned enclosure and if I am not mistaken it would be against the law to use dogs to harass wildlife in any other circumstance.
I see this activity as one step removed from dog fighting which I think the vast majority of people are violently opposed to and that is why it is against the law.
As noted in the summary proposal the number of licensed facilities of this kind dramatically fell since the 1990s. Why not totally discontinue this system of “training”?
Are we not a civilized country?
