I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.

Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel and inhumane to the wild rabbits, coyotes and foxes that are taken from their natural environment, held captive by humans, and then used as bait to train dogs to hunt.

New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for our province. These facilities have no place in Ontario. Instead of allowing new applications, plans should be put in place to close the province’s existing 24 facilities.
