Once again, the Ford government is tabling regressive proposals that serve the smallest of segments. In this case, individuals who profit from the torturing of wild animals by trapping them, confining them and using them as bait to train their hunting dogs. Does this government, the one that boasts about how they "work for the people of Ontario and not special interest groups", truly believe the majority of Ontarians want this barbaric practice to be extended? Maybe the Ford government also thinks we're living in 1823 instead of 2023.
This is a senseless proposal that serves individuals who still think the inhumane treatment of wild animals for entertainment and profit is their right above all else. It's about time this government starts reflecting the values of THE MAJORITY of its' citizens, act ethically and stop these backwoods dealings with special interest groups in exchange for votes. Aren't the rifles and bow and arrows of hunters enough to take down a defenseless red fox or cowering coyote? The use of dog packs to terrorize wildlife isn't a practice any government should be endorsing, let alone licensing. Stick by the original plan and shelve this barbaric trade once and for all.
