We are a family of hunters…

We are a family of hunters with a tradition going back generations. We believe in responsible, sustainable hunting practices. Part of our responsibility as hunters is to be aware of our impact on any species we harvest. The ideal, of course, is a quick, clean kill with as little stress for the animal as possible. That our province is considering encouraging and growing a practice where any animal is trapped and hunted down in a contained area for the purpose of training another animal is appalling. There are ways of training dogs for hunt that do not and have never involved training grounds. We were stunned and very disappointed to find that our government and the OFAH support this new legislation. We respectfully ask that the government reconsider its position on a practice that appears to us to be cruel in the extreme.
