Minister David Paccini
I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario. Instead of allowing new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately. Licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for a humane society and these facilities have no place in Ontario. Penned dog hunting facilities are inhumane and cruel to the wild animals that are used to train dogs to hunt. Their is no excuse or justification to remove wildlife from their natural environments and held captive by hunters.
