This is such an archaic practice and backward-looking proposal. Also, it is unclear as to what the impetus for this change is. Why after 26 years does anyone feel this is necessary? Is that information articulated in any documentation? If it is, it hasn't been disseminated broadly to the public. What governmental and non-governmental bodies, including animal and wildlife welfare groups, have been consulted in determining what is humane in this kind of practice? There are too many unanswered questions and too much unshared information for this to proceed.

I urge the Ministry and the province to reject all ideas behind this proposal. We're better than this kind of nonsensical and horrific cruelty.
