I did not vote for any type of dog train and trial areas. I am against any form of torture or persecution of humans or animals. The proposal to open dog train and trial areas is a proposal to suffering and torture of otherwise wild living creatures.
You would think that our society would have evolved far past this type of thing. Why can we not have respect for other living beings and live in harmony with other species on this earth. We have no right to harm another. Everything deserves to live. Further, this only serves those who hunt.

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.

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.

Please do not allow these cruel facilities to expand! In fact, the existing ones need to be shut down. These practices are unnecessarily cruel - we have evolved to become more humane than this, haven’t we?

As a resident of Ontario, I adamantly reject the MNR&F's proposal to allow new licenses and/or the transfer of existing licenses for train and trail areas in Ontario. In addition, I want the existing facilities closed immediately! These facilities have no place in Ontario.

It's hard to believe that with all we've learned about animal sentience and the massive biodiversity loss due to climate change, that governments continue to support the exploitation of wildlife for human entertainment.

I strongly oppose the proposal to allow more hunting dog training & trials areas in Ontario. Our government should be protecting wildlife from cruel and inhumane practices, not condoning them. This proposal is a step backwards for Ontario.
This is a move backwards into animal cruelty and blood spectacle. What's next? Dog fights? Whoever is responsible for tabling this legislation is a sick, sick individual unable to represent Canadians. Stop this proposal at once.
I am very disturbed that Ontario is considering more penned dog hunting facilities. This is a barbaric practice and has no place in our province and should be banned completely. It is especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.

I am a 62 year old Ottawa resident and just read with horror, shock and disbelief about this proposal. These facilities have no place in Ontario nor anywhere else. Also, the province's existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.

This is a barbaric practice and should NOT be re-instated! I am opposed to the issuance of licences for new dog train and the transfer of licences on the grounds that what you are proposing is cruelty to animals.

Shooting fish in barrels is still a popular "sport"?
Thought we'd outgrown such fecklessness,
What is Ontario's "Conservation" agency doing promoting "canned" hunting?
Dogs bred for hunting don't really need training. either they do it naturally, or not.

I had no idea that this practice happened in Ontario and I am shocked that it has been going on for years. It's a despicable practice that uses innocent wild animals as bait for training dogs - why as a government that cares about Ontario are you allowing this to happen?
