This is inhumane, barbaric, and disturbing that our government is even courting the idea of this practice. We do not need to train our dogs to hunt other small, dog-like creatures—you are severely risking the chance of seeing increased aggression in dogs, aggression that may be taken out on other innocent dogs at parks in neighbourhoods. Further, the practice of actively seeking out these animals (whose homes we are already destroying) just to terrorize, mutilate, and brutalize them. Show some basic human compassion and empathy, even just an ounce. Imagine yourself being tormented endlessly by a predator with powerful jaws and sharp teeth ripping into you. Imagine hearing the shrieks and cries of innocent animals in pain and agony because a pitbull inevitably locks its jaws on their hind legs. SHOW SOME EMPATHY. THIS IS A REGRESSION: we must do all we can to STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY and this extends BEYOND our household cats and dogs, this includes WILDLIFE. LEAVE THEM ALONE; your developers are already constantly taking away their homes.
