The inhumanity of these…

The inhumanity of these facilities and practices in this era is astonishing to myself, my family and friends. In fact is is hard to believe that they weren't abolished decades ago. And for what human sport? This is the lowest form of human predation. Why would the Ontario Government be perpetuating and in fact trying to establish more of these horrifying facilities?

The below proposal should be immediately dismissed and all existing train and trial facilities should shutdown. What a disgraceful practice, We had no idea such facilities existed in Canada let alone in Ontario.

The Ontario Government is proposing amendments to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to allow new licenses for facilities that use captive foxes, coyotes and rabbits as bait to train hunting dogs.

The consultation period is only open until May 18, 2023. Please visit the link below immediately to reject the province’s proposal to allow new licenses for these facilities.

There are currently 24 of these Train and Trial facilities in Ontario. In 1997 the decision was made not to allow any more to be created, however the Ontario government proposes to change this decision.

Train and Trial facilities are enclosed pens where hunters train dogs to hunt wildlife and run competitions for hunting dogs.

Operators trap foxes, coyotes and rabbits and keep them in captivity until being used to train dogs in these pens.
