To whom it may concern:

I deeply oppose the government's, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, using wild animals for the purpose of training hunting dogs that the wild animals are kept in captive in Ontario, or anywhere in the world is inhumane and cruel.

Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters.
It is inhumane to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as bait to train dogs.
New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for society. These facilities have no place in Ontario or anywhere in Canada.
Instead of allowing new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.
