Ontario outlawed dog hunting pens in 1997 with a goal that existing hunting pens would be phased out as owners retired or left the business. It is absolutely horrendous that you are even considering to reverse the ban so that new dog hunting pens can open up and existing pens can be sold to new owners. It is unacceptable that Ontario is ignoring the will of the public and reversing the phase-out of dog hunting pens all because a handful of sport hunters want to particpate in his horrific bloodsport.

Train and Trail Areas are inherently cruel and unethical. The capturing, transporting, marketing and confinement of wild animals for the purpose of training domestic canines is inhumane and deprives these animals of their natural ability to flee from predators, often leading to a proglonged and painful death. I am firmly opposed to 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. I am requesting (demanding) that you withdraw these proposed amendments and proceed with your initial plan to phase out these unethical Train and Trial Areas.
