There are many other ways to enrich your dogs life without torturing wildlife such as agility and scent work. You can even promote ratting for farms, as this too serves a purpose - work the dogs and get rid of pests on a farm which are a threat to farm animals. Read more

I strongly object to the Ontario Government proposal to make amendments to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to allow new licenses for dog train and trial areas, also known as penned dog hunting facilities. Read more

Ontario is already messed up in enough ways, let’s not bring this terrible practise back. It will only hurt our wildlife that we have and continue to destroy. I do not support this proposal, and those who do should be ashamed.

We need to be moving forward from inhumane practices against people AND animals. Training dogs to hunt captured wildlife in an enclosed area is akin to cockfighting. A barbaric practise that's seen as animal cruelty in today's society. Read more

Please do not allow this proposal. It is cruel to keep animals in cages, to be chased by dogs. They are terrified and this idea should never have been suggested. There are more humane ways to train dogs, without having to harm and terrify other animal, this is not it. Read more

Wildlife animals have a place in our province and in our country - in the wild. They do not belong in cages, pens or in traps to be used for dog training. This is a form of animal cruelty and it is unacceptable that the premier of Ontario does not recognize the severity of this law. Read more

This is a barbaric, cruel practice that is unsafe to the domestic dogs and incredibly torturous to the wild animals they will be sloppily killing. I am not against hunting, but the aim should always be to act as ethically and humanely as possible, and this is not ethical or humane. Read more

I want to voice my strong opposition to Ontario Government’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposed amendments to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to allow new licenses for dog train and trial areas in Ontario, as well as the transfer of existing licenses for the same.

It is really disappointing that Ontario is even debating this issue. It was shutdown previously for a reason and should not be continued. We have made so many great strides towards attempting to be more humane to animals, including changes on laws for animal testing for things like makeup. Read more
