The fact that this is even being considered in 2023 is frankly, disgusting. I must point out that this is against the wishes of most of the voting public. Such barbaric practices have no place in Ontario.
This is wrong on so many levels. Absolute animal cruelty. The Ford government should be ashamed of themselves, but we all know that they have no shame. Monsters, the lot of them. They make me embarrassed to be from Ontario.
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. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals who are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt.

I strongly 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. It is unnecessary.

Anonymous London, ON Citizen- How is this being talked about in 2023? It's shameful that this would even be brought up in a first world country. Keeping and breeding animals for the sole purpose of being prey in a sporting event isn't an acceptable practice in the modern world.

Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.

I support animal rights and this is clearly a massive violation towards their rights. Animal cruelty has no place in Ontario or Canada for that matter. Whoever proposed this idea should be ashamed of themselves. We must look forward for progress and not revert backwards. Enough is enough.
Why are we allowing this barbaric ritual in this country. Are we hell bent on going backwards. This is not the Canada I call home. Shame on the government for promoting animal torture
This practice is barbaric and I am strongly opposed to capturing wild animals for training of any sort. Any facilities currently practicing this should be closed immediately. It’s 2023 - have we not learned that our wildlife needs protection?
Do not start doing this, shame on you for proposing the torture of wild animals, we should instead use fords family as an alternative to train the dogs if hes so concerned
What is there to be gained by approving this proposal? Are there no possible alternatives to training the dogs than this option? This practice has been in the process of phasing out for 25 years and there are still over 20 centers that use it.
