How can we allow this barbaric cruelty continue. This is not sport or hunting. This is as close to dog fighting as it gets. Do we as Canadians allow and stand by as sentient animals are tortured purposely. As Canadians we can do better and set a higher standard for the world to see.

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 cannot believe that this is even being entertained. Why the hell our government would even be considering this inhumane activity is beyond me. Because they're afraid that this evil activity will go 'underground'? If it goes underground then you fine them. I am beyond shocked and appalled.

I live in a rural area, with many wolves, coyotes, foxes, and other wildlife. I have dogs, and I walk them in the woods, careful of wildlife encounters.

I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.

This is an outdated practice that many countries have started to move away from. The practice is inherently cruel and serves no purpose. To expand the practice, is mind boggling and a step backwards.

I am outraged at the idea that in 2023 we would even consider allowing licenses for train and trail areas in Ontario. What benefit would come from this for the dogs and most importantly the captured wild animals that would suffer immensely?

The disgusting practice of chasing terrified, penned wildlife has been in the process of being phased out for DECADES. Why would we bring this outdated and cruel practice back? We need to be better than this and treat wildlife with respect and empathy!
Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately. This practice is barbaric and disgusting and the kind of thing that gets people like me, a lifelong conservative voter, to think about other options come election time.

This barbaric practice is inhumane and suggests that humans are somehow entitled to entertain themselves at the expense of other beings who have as much right to live a life of freedom unhindered by selfish people who feel that they have a right to take their lives.

This practice is inherently abusive and morally abhorrent, and should not continue. Please do not issue any new licenses, and please continue to phase these practices out entirely.
