The impact assessment…

The impact assessment appears to have been on been prepared for the trial facilities. We should have an impact on the total numbers of new hunting dogs any new facilities should generate. That would have an effect on wildlife as hunters will use those dogs outside of the facility.

Further, there is no case provided for why new entrants are required at this time. And what does allowing new licensea do to the idea of the gradual phase out of the trial sites.

In addition, the impacts assessment is written based on current facilities but one of the provisions is to allow a limited time to register new sites, so how would allowing new facilities impact wildlife?

Finally, what is the impact of potentially increasing hunting dogs to the general human population and children that may encounter a hunting dog.
