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 that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Read more

I strongly object to the reissuing, transferring or issuing licences to anyone to use wildlife for any purpose of dog training. Are we going back in time or progressing forward in our treatment of animals wild or domestic? Read more

This is an inhumane practice with no place in Ontario. I firmly oppose the allowance of licenses for new dog training and trial areas. We need to respect wildlife and our environment.

Seriously? How is this even being considered in 2023? What a huge step backward. These cruel places have no place in Ontario. Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately!

Ok so this is gross. I do not agree with this proposal. This is animal cruelty and unnecessary. Coyotes are wonderful creatures and necessary for our ecosystem. They eat rats, mice and rabbits. coyotes help with overpopulation of these above animals. Read more

The members of the Grand River Beagle Club are in full support of the amend of the Fish and Wildlife Act 1997 and associated regulations to allow for new licenses of new dog train and trial areas and to allow transfer for licenses. This process is so important to the sporting dog community.

This is cruel and inhumane. On no planet is this acceptable or okay. Leave our wildlife alone and respect them as the wild animals they are. Find another way to train the dogs - this is not it!

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. Read more

Hunting pens where wild animals are held captive to then be hunted down in an unfair, unequal setting where they cannot escape for dog trials in hunting is completely unethical and should NOT be allowed. Read more
