My family and I are firmly opposed to this proposal. It is a cruel and inhumane practice that has no place in today's Ontario. It subjects captive wildlife to the trauma of being pursued by hunting dogs. This is no better than the widely condemned practice of fox hunting in the United Kingdom, which has finally been banned. If hunters wish to train their dogs, then they should use inanimate representations as a substitute. There is a reason that it was being phased out and those reasons are still valid.

I strongly encourage the province of Ontario to end this barbaric and inhumane practice. You wouldn't torment a domestic animal in this manner, and you shouldn't do the same to wild animal.
