I wish to express my strong opposition to the Ministry of Natural Resources proposal to allow new licences and the transfer of existing licenses, for "dog train and trial areas".

It is unconscionable and unethical to use wild animals to train hunting dogs. This is such a barbaric practice I was frankly shocked to learn that such a program even existed.

Further, I call upon the Ministry to immediately take steps to discontinue this practice altogether. The use of rabbits, coyotes and foxes as bait to train dogs should be stopped immediately and such facilities closed for good.
