Besides, the inhumane…

Besides, the inhumane cruelty of this proposal, it is also incredibly dangerous. Anyone who has encountered a coyote with their dog knows that the dog can be badly hurt and killed. In addition, avian, flu is a growing concern among fox and coyote populations in Ontario. A dog recently died of the avian flu virus after coming in contact with an infected Canada goose. This proposal would increase interactions between domestic animals and potentially infected wild animals. Humans can also be infected with avian flu if they come into direct contact with an animal that is infected and the case fatality rate is 50%. There is no good reason whatsoever to go forward with this disgusting inhumane and dangerous proposal.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.
