I am opposed to the changes regarding increasing licenses of using captured wild animals to train hunting dogs. As an Ontarian raised in a remote rural district, I have absolutely no objections to humanly hunting for sustenance.

This is an absolutely absurd proposal. Limitations and regulations must be included with this proposal to expunge the ability of private facilities to train private animals (pets) to prey upon wild animals in a controlled area.

I strongly support the amendment of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997, and associated regulations to allow for the issuance of licences of new dog train and trial areas, and to allow the transfer of licences.

Barbaric, dangerous , smacks of fox hunting for the gentry in Britain . A truly redneck sport to hunt animals in an enclosed environment . I suggest dogs be trained to hunt politicians instead in enclosed environments and see how they like it.
This is definitely a cruel and inhumane way to treat our wild animals. To capture them in a trap line is the first inhumane step. It must be a frightening, stressful and painful way to be captured.

I strongly oppose.
Train and trial facilities should be closed down with immediate affect, there should not be any further licenses issued for new or existing facilities.

I respectfully object to this in the strongest possible manner. We should not be caging wildlife as this goes against every conservation and environmental protocol there is. Secondly to subject these innocent trapped animals to a horrific death for a blood sport is beyond reason.

This government has completely lost it. To encourage and expand a program for training hunting dogs using captured animals is appalling. Foxes, rabbits, etc are mammals. They feel fear, they hurt. Hunting for the sport of it should be banned.

I am writing in strong opposition to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.

This is a barbaric practice. There are other ways to teach dogs to hunt specific species. Trapping sentient beings for the purposes of hunting them, is not acceptable. This is no different than places that allow people to hunt for sport. We have to be better than this.

Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt.

This is inconceivable and barbaric. How can you even contemplate allowing the cruelty and suffering to proceed. Please reconsider this ridiculous idea.
This bill is a disgusting assault on the protection of our wildlife and our environment. Ontarians want our government to protect our beautiful province from harmful practices like hunting. Protect our wildlife Ford!!!!
Hunting Animals on Private Property for sport.
Firstly, this is not sport - it is cruelty to a coyote, rabbit or any other animal involved, and CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPANDED.

Regarding this proposal, I can't fully express my horror at expanding this "activity"- I had no idea these "facilities" still exist. Why would ANY compassionate person- hunter or non-hunter- ever support such appalling activities.
