I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's recent proposal regarding the issuance and transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. I firmly reject this proposition for several compelling reasons.

I strongly reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal that will allow for new licenses and transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. This is a cruel practice for wild animals that are neither invasive or overpopulated to be subjected to.

Upon learning of the penned dog hunting facilities, I attempted to learn of why a better option does not exist. It turns out, there are far more humane and economic options available.

This is disgusting! I am NOT for this, it is CRUEL and causes suffering. Shame on you for even thinking of implementing this, it must mean $ signs to someone.
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 am strongly against the MNR proposal to allow new licenses and transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. What a massive step backwards and by the very department that should be diligent about keeping wild animals in their natural habitat, not used as bait!

This is so disgusting. This practice was banned in 1997 for a reason.
It's sad that wild animals are going to be treated so poorly by the Ontario government.

It is cruel and unacceptable to capture wild animals only to put them in a contained area so that they can be terrorized and torn apart by dogs. There isn’t even any « sport » involved, the animals don’t stand a chance. I can’t believe this is even being discussed.

Awesome, I think this is a great move! Better to let people have licenses for train and trial areas instead of people unleashing their dogs on all wildlife wherever people please.
Hunting penned wild animals for "sport" is cruel and unethical. I'm truly shocked and dismayed that this can occur in Canada.
I sincerely hope that brighter and more humane minds will prevail.
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.
Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario.
Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.
I wish to register my opposition to this horrifically cruel and inhumane proposal for wildlife control.
Penning up wildlife in order to allow dogs to be trained to attack and kill the penned animals? I am horrified that this would even be considered as a viable option.

This proposal is absolutely ridiculous. The current provincial government of Ontario is destroying the lives it’s citizens, now doing the same to its animals?
