I very strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of the 24 existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in the province of Ontario. This should not happen.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive in pens, by hunters, in order to train dogs.
It is inhumane and cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as bait to train dogs, and surely there are alternative practices that don’t rely on using wild animals as live bait.
New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward in this day and age. These antiquated facilities have no place in this province.
Instead of allowing new applications, Ontario’s existing 24 facilities must be closed now.
