I strongly object to 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. These penned dog hunting facilities are horrific in nature and demonstrate uncaring cruelty to the caged wild animals that are subjected to dogs learning to hunt.

removed 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.

Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a retrograde step and unacceptable step. These facilities have no place in Ontario. The province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately. It is unthinkable we would open new ones.
