I vehemently oppose the proposed amendments to the Act. The existing legislation that allows for train and trial operations (which are akin to bear baiting albeit a different species) in the first place, is unconcionable. The proposed changes serve to perpetuate the practice rather than to scale it back. The Government has no place to instill terror in wildlife species used as targets. As it is, wildlife species are having their territories increasingly reduced through urbanization and also the Government selling off Greenspace. The Goverment needs to show leadership in the co-existance with and respect for wildlife and all other animals (including farm, marine, domestic).
