Without prejudice. I am…

Without prejudice.
I am shocked that these places are operating at all, the fact that the province wants to increase the number of these abhorrent places is appalling!
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. In fact, I do not have the words to express just HOW firmly I reject this proposal.
Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel, in fact, evil, for the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Further, in case it needs to be said, this would also be cruel and evil for domesticated animals to endure...if your next step is to propose that.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions and for entertainment purposes (because, let's be clear, that IS what this is).
Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario. NONE.
Instead of opening new applications I propose, strongly, that the province’s existing 24 facilities be shut down IMMEDIATELY.
