It is really disappointing…

It is really disappointing that Ontario is even debating this issue. It was shutdown previously for a reason and should not be continued. We have made so many great strides towards attempting to be more humane to animals, including changes on laws for animal testing for things like makeup. How is this any different? We are subjecting animals to suffering for human benefit that is not essential for us to survive. For them to use these facilities for competitions, how is this any different than dog fighting rings? Hunters can learn to train their own animals in different ways, there are lots of different training techniques used without needing these facilities. I am still in shock this is even up for discussion.
