I want to speak out and…

I want to speak out and stand up for the animals being tortured by this inhumane and cruel practice. Allowing penned animals to be hunted is appalling, these animals live in constant fear, are kept in terrible conditions and should be banned.
Any humane person would agree this is unnecessary cruelty, and using animals to teach dogs to be aggressive is dangerous to other wildlife, small children and other dogs (pets) that may resemble the animals they have been trained to hunt.
Please phase out this horrendous practice and remind people that empathy and kindness to all species is what makes us Canadian.
“Penned dog hunting is cruel and vicious, which is why no other province allows hunters to chase and kill terrified, caged animals with dogs,” said lawyer Camille Labchuk, executive director of Animal Justice. “Most Canadians oppose hunting animals for entertainment, and it’s especially troubling when coyotes, foxes, hares, and other animals have no way to escape. It’s unacceptable that Ontario is ignoring the will of the public and reversing the phase-out of dog hunting pens—all because a handful of sport hunters want to participate in this horrific bloodsport.”
