I am 100% against the Ontario MNRF proposal which would allow the development of additional “dog train and trial areas” – conveniently named to obscure the use of such areas and to conceal the abuse of wildlife involved in this practice. To put the wishes of Ontario hunters and their dogs above the protection of wildlife (and commercially purchased domesticated animals) is totally unacceptable. Dog training and competitions are the hobbies of a small number of hunters, and provincial wildlife belongs to all of us. Many of us in the public do not approve of the terrorizing, injuring and killing of animals for entertainment. We do not support any type of legislation or licensing that supports or expands hunting in any way. Please consider the lives (and unnecessary suffering) of foxes, rabbits and coyotes and firmly shut down this proposal once and for all. It would be my preference that the existing penned wildlife facilities be shut down, and all licenses cancelled. Ontario and Canada can do better than this!
