I believe that the concept and practice of Train and trial areas constitutes the inhumane treatment of animals - whereby on private land certain wildlife (cottontail, snowshoe hare, red fox or coyote) are kept captive - with no chance to escape - for the purposes of teaching dogs hunting skills.

The unfortunate captured wild animals are afforded no natural means to evade capture and killing, and can be subject to being torn apart, while alive.

This might be something I would read about in a country such as China, where I had heard this sort of enclosed "hunting" [so called] by predators is done - in some cases for entertainment of humans - but I never thought I would hear of anything similar happening in Ontario.

It is deplorable, and despicable. Please put an end to this practice.
