I oppose the proposal to allow the issuance of licenses for new dog train and trial areas. It is cruel and inhumane to trap and pen an animal for the sole purpose of terrorizing them on a daily basis in order to train dogs for hunting. Hunting dogs are not necessary, and are in fact another form of brutality to our wildlife. I understand that animals die in the wild all the time due to being hunted by predators, however, keeping the animal alive and allowing that animal to be hunted again and again is actual torture. Please do not allow this to pass and think of the animals who will living that daily nightmare in a training facility such as the proposed.
