Hello,
I would like to STRONGLY condemn the Ford government on this proposal.
This is simply another example of Mr Ford’s blatant disregard for trying to improve Ontario and the fellow citizens and other occupants (i.e., wildlife) of this province.
This proposal would only benefit a select few individuals who participate in this archaic and barbaric activity, and would result in significant cruelty to the wildlife involved, and likely also the poor dogs that are forced to do this type of work and live in these types of conditions with their owner/handlers. The vast majority of Ontario citizens would be dramatically opposed to this type of regulatory amendment (and especially if they were able to actually see what happens in these type of places). Please stop pushing through reg changes that only benefit a handful of people while devastating the others involved. This type if regulatory proposal demonstrates a complete inability of this government to show that they are willing and wanting to improve Ontario. But rather demonstrates a continued approach that the Ford government has to quietly push through changes that benefit a select group of people.
Instead of wasting time, money and resources on regulatory changes like this, please do work on changes that the people of this province actually want to see done, such as improved animal welfare laws in the province, improved farming laws and enforcement in this province, PROTECTING our environment rather than destroying it, etc.
Could you please outline to me what work the Ford government has done to improve animal protections or any kind in this province?
Could you also please let me know what research, consultation, review, etc was done by this government to look into why this practice was initially limited/restricted back in the 1990s?
Could you please let me know what level of inspection, surveillance, enforcement is currently being done in these types of facilities?

Thank you for your time reviewing my comments and I am very much looking forward to a response. Quiet saddened to see that the Ford government is wasting time and money on this reg change when this province has actual problems that need to be fixed. Very disappointed.

Sincerely,
Heather
