Dear Enviromental Registry…

Dear Enviromental Registry of Ontario Survey Officials,

It is our opinion that granting new licenses for dog training and trial facilities is a huge step backward for Canadian society. These facilities have no place in Ontario. Instead of allowing new applications, Ontario's existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately!

We strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog training and trial areas in Ontario. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt and an example of a bloodthirsty activity imagined by humans to entertain themselves and has absolutely no place in civilized society.

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 hunter's dogs. Wildlife abuse, for the entertainment of some humans and a source of money making activities for others, should never be sanctioned and permitted by the Canadian or Ontario provincial government or their Ministries.
