This proposal seems very cruel to wildlife as not only will they be trapped, they will be tortured and killed. Hunting is acceptable when the animal killed is being eaten, not for pleasure. Given foxes and coyotes are not eaten, the killing appears to be for pleasure. There doesn't seem to be a large demand for this type of hunting and seems to benefit only a small portion of voter population therefore don't understand why you need more. I would like to see stats to see an increase in demand. Likely the reason the number of new licenses issued before as this was seen as cruel. Should you not be creating a proposal that protects wildlife? Also, could you place a limit on the number of foxes and coyotes that can be trapped? You note that there will be strict regulations, but how many staff do you have to actually enforce those regulations?
