I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.

Your 1997 decision to phase these facilities out was the right decision. Please uphold it and close the existing 24 facilities immediately.

Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive. However to do so for the express purpose of training dogs to hunt them, is particularly cruel and inhumane -- even if they are kept apart.

With the drastic decline in biodiversity that we are witnessing, hunting should be banned.
These facilities have no place in Ontario.
