I'm opposed to sport hunting…

I'm opposed to sport hunting from an ethical standpoint in general, but if sport hunting must be allowed, then I feel it should happen out in the wild, where wild animals have a chance of escape. Statements made in support of an expansion of penned hunting suggest fear that dog sport hunting will "move underground" and may potentially cause unwanted wildlife conflicts, but I see that as a separate issue. If sport hunting using dogs is a potential problem, the entire practice should be banned. If the practice is to go on, then it should only happen where there are fair odds and the quarry can escape. There should be no expansion on penned hunting facilities. Whether the animal is trapped and brought in to be hunted in a penned facility or bred to be hunted is moot; the practice is cruel, inhumane, at odds with the increasing concern Ontarians have towards animals, and deeply unfair to those captive individuals. Do not expand these facilities.
