this is absolutely…

this is absolutely disgusting and unethical. I thought as a society and government we were past these abusive behaviours towards wildlife and it is disheartening that something like this would even be considered. All animals deserve an equal chance to thrive in their natural environment without the potential threats of dog training for recreational or professional purposes. As a human race we have done enough damage through our actions to the wildlife population and to the environment as a whole. What kind of message is this proposal sending? There is a reason that animal testing for production purposes is rapidly diminishing and many corporations are banning these practices, because there are other and better ways to achieve the same result without the cruelty done to living beings on our planet. Please respect the wildlife and do NOT allow this under any circumstances, find another way that does not kill or hurt innocent animals in their habitats.
