Trial and train camps are no better than dog fighting. Is this what Canadian do? Submit wildlife to torturous deaths. When the rest of the world is recognizing animals as sentient beings we are bringing back antiquated practices that submit animals to cruelty. Read more

Wildlife in Ontario shouldn't ever be taken from their natural environment by hunters. It’s unbelievably torturous to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as game for hunters in the training of dogs and participation in competitions. Read more

To whom it may concern : I strongly oppose 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. I cannot support a government that permits train and trial areas. Read more

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

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. Read more

Protect wildlife and leave them in the wild where they belong to live their lives free from abuse! There is no place for these dog train and trial areas. Shut them down, not expand them.

I am deeply opposed for this inhumane and cruel penned dog training to be opened up again. It is against any ethics to capture wild life and have it than released to be used as bait for dogs to train them how to kill. How utterly terrible! Please do not allow this to happen!

To capture and use wildlife for training hunting dogs is both archaic, inhumane and a step backwards on the evolutionary scale. Just because the Ministry is receiving requests does not mean it is acceptable! Read more

I strongly object to the proposal to allow new licences and the transfer of existing licences for train and trial areas in Ontario. Such practices are cruel to wildlife and represent a huge step backward in creating a compassionate society in Ontario. Read more

I am deeply disheartened to think that the Ontario government is proposing amendments to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to allow new licenses for dog 'train and trial' areas. Read more

Absolutely shocked to discover that facilities like this currently exist in Ontario. Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years would be a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario and should be closed down. Read more

Hunting pens are inhumane and unethical. Wild animals such as foxes, coyotes, and rabbits are captured and held in captivity only to be subjected to cruelty, abuse, and suffering through the training and trialing of hunting dogs. These archaic facilities have no place in today’s society. Read more
