We don't allow dog-fighting rings,training because its the mutilation and killing of animals for people's pleasure. So then why allow 'dog pens' where dogs train to kill wild animmals? Its just as gruesome and serves te same purpose- satiated some humans desire for mutilation and killing. 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

Penned train and trial facilities are cruel to wildlife that are removed from their natural environment and used for the training of dogs for hunting. I am especially opposed to these facilities offering "trials", a competition for hunting dogs. It is WRONG! Read more

There are so many other ways to train animals. Please don’t do it in this barbaric way. I am Aboriginal and I still don’t condone this. We have come a long way. Let’s not go backwards and kill innocent creatures from God

Gordon Lightfoot, the Heart and Soul of the True North...respectful of Nature and the Wildlife that SHOULD BE in WILD SPACES only, died yesterday. He was in tune with Canadians and their love of Nature. He chose song to create pictures to 'shoot' out that enduring message over the years. Read more

I am against the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s new proposal to permit new licenses and also against the proposal that old licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario can be transferred. Read more

This is a step backwards. No wildlife should be captured just to be hunted by dogs in training. This is an extremely cruel practice and in my opinion has no place in Ontario. Please consider closing the existing training facilities and prevent new ones from opening.

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

It is unimaginable in this day that the Ontario government would bring back the ability for new facilities to be licensed. The backwards movement is confusing. Stop pandering to fish and wildlife, we do not need more facilities to train dogs to violent. Read more

I cannot believe that the Ontario government would still consider supporting such barbaric practises. Have we not learned anything. Where is our compassion for our fellow creatures. Read more

How would anyone support this? Have we not come further than this? This is absolutely nothing beneficial or normal about this. It seems like a green light for animal cruelty. Instead of becoming a more educated, compassionate society this appears to be turning the clock back to a disturbing time.

This is an extremely cruel practice! All of these facilities should be shut down immediately. (In fact, it's my understanding that such facilities were to have been phased out by now.) Read more
