You have got to be kidding.

The Ontario provincial government is now catering to and promoting psychopathic behaviour??

It seems the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is choosing to ignore all scientific studies that prove the link between animal cruelty and domestic violence. (see a short list of attached links).

There is no need to add more links as reference; the evidence is overwhelming. But domestic violence aside, animal abuse of any kind, on any level, against any species, for any purpose, is just plain wrong in a so-called civil society.

That the Ministry is even considering such a proposal begs two questions. One: what is the motivation? Money? Pandering to a minority group that actually takes pleasure in these outdated, barbaric practices under the guise of what, "wildlife management? "ethical hunting?"

The second, and perhaps more important question is: who, what kind of people are staffing Ministry offices that would even consider, and be OK with this proposal?

Perhaps there needs to be an investigation into the motivations of individuals that choose to work at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. With such a proposal on the table, surely for some it can't be for the "conservation of wildlife", nor it would seem, for the good of society.
