I was just made aware of this new proposed legislation; and it sickens me. This will single-handedly allow hunters to capture wild animals, keep them penned, and subject them to cruelty, abuse and trauma, all to allow hunters to train their dogs to hunt. It is BARBARIC. We need to protecting wild life not using it for personal pleasure. We are not the only lives that matter. And allowing this legislation to go through is inhumane, merciless, malicious and morally bankrupt.

With this said, I firmly REJECT the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. Penned dog hunting facilities are astonishingly cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Wildlife should NEVER be taken from their natural environments, and held captive by hunters. It’s especially barbaric to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions. Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25-years is a disgusting, disappointing and shameful step backwards. These facilities have NO place in Ontario. Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities MUST be closed immediately.

WE MUST PROTECT WILDLIFE from the irreparable harm of this selfish and evil legislation. DO NOT ALLOW THIS TO PASS.
