I completely and firmly…

I completely and firmly reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's proposal to amend the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of1997 for the purpose of allowing new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario.

It is inherently cruel to steal wildlife out of their natural environment. It is especially cruel and inhumane to take rabbits, foxes, and coyotes from their environments, hold them captive for indefinite periods, and then use them like toys to train dogs and hold hunting competitions. Ontario should not allow more animals to be captured and tortured for the sake of barbaric hunting dog traditions, and should let the remaining train and trial areas be phased out as originally planned due to the inherent cruelty of this practice.

Wild animals need to be protected and left alone. They should never be subjected to torture like this for the amusement of humans. We are better than this.
