Do NOT reinstate this cruel and barbaric practice against animals- this is honestly appalling. This is NOT what we as Ontario tax payers want our money to finance.
This is a barbaric proposal and I hope this does not actually happen. Please reconsider. Animal torture is a horrible thing, and should not be viewed as sport.
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.

Amending this would be inhumane. There is no need for hunting and for the training of dogs to do this. Those who are participating in these actions should not be allowed to own any animals. This is just plain cruel, shameful behaviour.
This is disgusting animal cruelty that serves no real purpose. Shame on the Ford government for even considering it, maybe they should volunteer to be pursued by the dogs instead.
The idea behind the limits imposed in 1997 was to gradually phase out this inhumane practice without outright banning it. No part of practice where dog chases captive scared animal should be labeled as "sport" and there should be no training and competition that enforces such behaviour.

This practise is absolutely abhorrent. I have a feeling if more folks knew that this was going on you’d get a lot of push back. No reasonable person would see this as anything but pure cruelty.
I think this is a cruel and frankly disgusting proposal. It's almost as bad as legalizing cock fighting. These animals are living things. Please don't encourage cruelty to animals.

This barbaric practice needs to stop. Dogs don’t *need* to hunt any more than cats do. Allowing the capturing of wild animals so our domesticated ones can hint them is unethical and needs to stop now.
I am against this proposal as being totally unnecessary. I may be a bit old school on hunting with dogs as I have never been hunting with anyone who needed to have a dog trained for the purpose. A good hunting dog was always used to train the younger dogs on the actual hunt.
