I’m so sad and disappointed,…

I’m so sad and disappointed, that after all we have been through in the last couple of years, this is a proposal. Entrapment.

I use to be very proud to be Canadian - to live in Ontario, be from Toronto, I was proud to let people know. I can’t however support that anymore. We have some of the worst animal protection laws in the western world. Activists are putting their lives at risk and have lost their lives in order to expose cruelty and promote protection for animals. I’m so sad that someone from where I live is able to sit down and say that it’s OK to trap animals to have dogs tear them apart. I hate how human nature needs to inject itself and every natural resource we have. We should celebrate the fact that we have wildlife. We should celebrate the fact that we live in an environment that supports their habitat. Instead, we continue to destroy it and for those that have survived we know are going to allow them to be captured and killed in a pen.

I think it’s truly ironic, that we banned a breed of dogs (pitbull) because of this exact behavior. Even though it was a weak law and there’s no real evidence to support it. But then years later, we are able to pass a law that promotes dogs, being violent towards other sentient beings. If this passes will Ontario then pass a protective law for these trained dogs when they decide to attack other dogs that look like foxes or cats that look like raccoons. I can already see the headlines of one of these trained dogs, killing another small dog, and then we crucify this dog based on our own actions on our own bills that we pass. I don’t understand any of it.

It makes me sad to think that this would happen - and that Canadians above all others would promote the destruction of wildlife.
