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.
Please don't do this. What purpose can possibly be gained by inflicting such terror and suffering on these innocent animals? What kind of society do we want to be, what kind of a government do you want to be recognized as - one that would bring back a brutal practice that was phased out decades ago, with the exception of the 24 still-operating facilities.
This is not the way forward for our society. As all species experience loss of habitat, loss of food, climate-related and man-made, why on earth would we want to cause more suffering, with such an unnecessary, and for most Ontarians, an absolutely barbaric practice.
These facilities are not necessary - they are unkind and unconscionable, and should not be promoted or expanded in this province, or any other. I implore you to do the right thing by these animals and by caring Ontarians.
