I didn't know there was such a thing in Canada.
It's inhumane, immoral, and indefensible, on every level, to allow this activity to continue.
This cruel and barbaric "sport" must end immediately.
I am totally opposed to this cruel and inhumane practice.
In addition, in 2023, are there not many, many alternatives of REAL sport which do not involve killing animals?
As an active participant of dog trails in Ontario, I 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.

Bear baiting, rhino poaching for ivory, bull fighting, cock fighting, fox hunting, chuck wagon racing, pitbull fighting - the list goes on and on and what do we do - continue and will widen this barbaric programme of penned wildlife. This is outrageous.

To whom it may concern, These trapped animals are being stressed out for the purpose of hunting dogs to gain knowledge to hunt in the wild. As a society, we are continuously encroaching on wild spaces thus creating stress for these animals.

I strongly oppose 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. The ministy is supposed to protect wildlife, not harm it.

I was pleased when previous governments restricted/banned future licences for these facilities that supposedly train dogs to chase and kill prey - foxes and coyotes. This measure to licence more of these penned hunting enclosures is a major step backward.

As a teen living in Toronto this is very upsetting and disappointing and makes me very resentful towards the Ford government.
I firmly reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario.

This is a disgusting proposal and should not be considered further.
Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters.

I vehemently oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry's proposed amendment to sell licenses for penned hunting facilities. Anyway you want to dress this, it's just plain cruelty.

I do not agree with this proposal to allow new dog train and trial licences to be issued. The potential for abuse of wildlife is significant and the resources to adequately regulate the existing licences are clearly lacking.

No to penned hunting involving foxes, coyotes, rabbits, etc.
Stop the Barbaric Demonic Cruelty and Insanity Now!
Thou Shall Not Kill! Torture! or cause to Suffer!
God Is Watching over his Creation!
This is a barbaric practice and in cruel and inhumane. Please do not allow these dog training facilities to continue. It's time we treat all animals with compassion and respect. Cruelty is not the answer.
