I am strongly against the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's proposal to allow new licenses to be issued or for licenses to be transferred in Ontario. One would question how hunting animals that are penned up could even be considered hunting. I believe that allowing more train and trial spaces would be absolutely wrong. At a time that we as a society should be trying to find ways to live more harmoniously with the planet and all the creatures that we share it with, in Ontario we are going backwards. The capture of wild foxes and coyotes to be held captive to allow dogs to hunt them down is unethical and inhumane and pose a real threat to wildlife and humans. Wildlife removed from public areas to then be hunted for profit is not a business model that will benefit the province in any way. Even more concerning is the complete lack of empathy or respect for these animals and there is almost no information with respect to regulations that would protect the number of animals allowed to be hunted at one time versus the number of dogs, or how the trapped animals would be transported and housed. I am asking you to please say no to Bill91 and have this portion removed from the legislation.
