I am so incredibly…

I am so incredibly disappointed in this government and their decision to ignore the values and beliefs of the vast majority of Ontario's citizens who oppose such cruel, inhumane practices. I am even more disappointed by the reality that the premier doesn't care about anything other than how to make himself and his friends richer. I have seen the reddit post and 99% of the comments all expressed disdain and opposition to this, yet the premier is going to ignore the will of the people and put this through anyways. He has lost my vote and I feel nothing but deep shame for having supported him in the past. I'll be sure to stop his re-election. He doesn't deserve to hold this office. Below is a comment that resonates with how I feel about such compounds of animal cruelty.

These facilities should be illegal. This is animal cruelty plain and simple. Disgusting that anyone would consider this a 'sport'. I can't torture and kill a rabbit or coyote on my property without animal cruelty charges (and I would never ever want to) so why are these facilities allowed to exist and possibly expand.

Society should do everything possible to protect wild animals, they have a place within the ecosystem and should never be subjected to this kind of torture, for the amusement of humans. If you want your dog to chase coyotes or rabbits away from your crops, they can be trained without resorting to torture of animals, whether wild 'caught' or raised for this purposed (a whole other area of extreme animal torture).

Naturalist experts and environmental diversity experts should be consulted and they would explain why this practice is as outdated as dog fighting or bull running and should be banned.

Society needs to evolve to be more compassionate and accepting of the rich diversity of our ecosystems and relegate the torture of animals for human pleasure in the distant past. We are better than this and our laws should reflect this.
