I firmly reject 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.

Since these practices were deemed cruel back in 1997, what has changed to make them not so I 2023?

To quote another commen "Society should do everything possible to protect wild animals, they have a place within the ecosystem and should never be subjected to this kind of torture, for the amusement of humans. If you want your dog to chase coyotes or rabbits away from your crops, they can be trained without resorting to torture of animals"

Wildlife should never be taken 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 massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario.

Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.
