This practice needs to be banned and NOT expanded. This is cruel and inhumane and leads to extreme debilitating stress for wild animals kept in captivity and exposed to being chased and hunted over and over until death.

Other countries around the world have banned practices like this ( wild animal hunting with dogs was banned in England in 2004 ; New Hampshire is working on passing a bill to ban the use of live rabbits/hares in training hunting dogs)

Ontario needs to be a leader in environmental and wildlife protections and NOT move forward with this expansion of dog trials/training areas etc.

I am vehemently opposed to this.
