The capture or purchase of foxes, coyotes, and hares for the purpose of having them hunted is not an ethical practice and should not be permitted. The purpose describes "teaching the dogs to only pursue specific species or scents" but it also says that the areas are secured so that no external wildlife can enter. It seems that there is a contradiction on the purpose and application of these training areas.

If a dog or group of dogs is put into an enclosure and taught to hunt prey that has been contained, how is this any different than outlawed activities like dog fighting?

Please do not further expand this practice.
