I can hardly believe the proposal from Fishery and Wildlife is even suggesting using wildlife as practicing tools for hunting dogs.
1. Cruelty -trapping wildlife/ holding them to being repeatly used as props for the purpose of what? Come on? Who is proposing this? A hunting club?
2. Infection control- you are trapping wildlife and putting them in closed pens exposing wildlife illness to public.
3. Risk Management- the hunting dogs who are use to attacking wildlife, can an easily mistake at attacking someone elses pet, or a child.
4. Is the end result for the animal to die, a painful long death, as keeping a wild animal in enclosure causes stress and the proposal is unneccessary there is plenty of props that can be used as alternate choices. I didnt realize Ontario is so barbaric.
4. Who is going to govern the holding of the wildlife? Who determines how long and how much cruelty is endured in a hands of the hunter and hunting dog.
Who? Society of Prevention of cruelty of animals ? As Ontario government will need to fund a third party to provide protection and who and where are these licenses being issued?
5. COST- The simple answer is cost, this is going to cost more than to have resources mandate, more resources to out source risk management, infection control and cruelty to animals.
