I am writing to express my strong opposition to these "training areas." I grew up on a farm in Ontario, raising hogs and broiler chickens. We also grew corn and soy. We had farm dogs that would chase wild animals away from our fields and barns - and we never had to "train" these dogs to do what they're bred to do by using live, captive wild animals. Coyotes and foxes being trapped and taken from the wild to be ripped apart in training exercises is a sadistic, money-making enterprise for the cruel.

These organizations and centers do not serve an actual purpose aside from generating profits and giving sick men a chance to inflict their sadistic desires on innocent animals who have no sporting chance to escape or survive.

I continue to be ashamed of the Ontario government. The depths you'll sink to line the pockets of Doug Ford's donors literally include allowing blatant animal cruelty.
