Hunting with dogs as a form…

Hunting with dogs as a form of utility (fetch and retreive) is the only humane form of hunting.

Every other kind of hunting causes chaos and uneeded stress to both the hunting animal and the prey animal. The reason this was getting phased out in '97 was a matter of more ethical alternatives becoming available on the market.

Now it appears its being revised for conservative party optics and another way for owners of these facilities to save money.

Compounds like this have the ability to use scented decoys, drones and other "safer" options for all the animals involved and I think we are doing a disservice to ourselves by thinking this is the easier and cheaper way. Especially when many people using these facilities are sport hunting. It is no longer a necessity, and therefore it is paying to be cruel and having the ministry back that cruelty with the word of law.

Ontario has had a streak of "easier and cheaper" lately, and people are getting burnt out and tired of it. If saving money means any life has to suffer for it - I'm out, and I do not support this proposal.
