This practice of trapping…

This practice of trapping and using small game as pawns to train hunting dogs is despicable. I am so horrified to hear that our current government is supporting and encouraging this practice. This is cruel and barbaric, there is no other way to describe it. I understand the need for hunting in rural and indigenous communities for sustenance, but I have never heard of this train and trail practice used in this scenario. It is absolutely horrific. I think the practice of trophy hunting is unnecessary and inhumane and very dated and I imagine it is here for this practice where we see this train and trail areas set up for mainly. There is no sportsmanship, no honour in terrorizing animals. Instead of taking these innocent creatures out of their environment why aren’t we enjoying the peace and beauty they add to the environment? Why is the government so gung-ho on destroy lives and beautiful green spaces? We should not be taking these animals for granted and abusing them for leisure sports, it is just so shameful and so very sad.
