Absolutely and utterly…

Absolutely and utterly appalling that the Canadian government is condoning such a thing. There are other methods that can be used to adequately train a dog to hunt and trap, rather than exploiting wildlife for human benefit. With the expanding human population and urbanization, wildlife populations are already limited with limited access to free and open land without human disturbance. Keep the wildlife, wild and let these owners train their dogs using current methods. Are these hunting dogs owners really being that disadvantaged with current training protocol??? If so, this is not the answer. They need better intervention that doesn’t involve unnecessary animal cruelty and entrapment of wild animals.
