This proposal is ludicrous…

This proposal is ludicrous. Wild animals are already at such a disadvantage against hunters and guns. Then you add in dogs so that wildlife have an even smaller chance of hiding or escaping from hunters in the fragmented habitat left to them. And then to top it all off, this proposal suggests torturing select wild animals to allow dogs to become better at tracking the few remaining wildlife species we have left in this country. Isn't hunting described as a sport? How is any of this sporting behaviour? It mostly sounds like lazy hunters who don't want to put any effort into hunting but instead want to shoot their gun a bunch of times and kill things without putting any work in.
