I support ERO #019-3685 Proposal to allow the issuance of licences for new dog train and trial areas and the transfer of licences as written.

I am a long term resident of Ontario, now living near Bloomfield. I strongly oppose this proposal. It is cruel and unnecessary. I am amazed that the Ontario government would even consider passing this into law.

Strongly object to this proposal that allows the inhumane practice of penned hunting where dogs are allowed and encouraged to kill defenceless animals. Also question the treatment of these dogs. Are they abused/chained with minimal feed to promote aggression?

I believe that the concept and practice of Train and trial areas constitutes the inhumane treatment of animals - whereby on private land certain wildlife (cottontail, snowshoe hare, red fox or coyote) are kept captive - with no chance to escape - for the purposes of teaching dogs hunting skills.

Friend who doesn't understand that coyotes can be pests posted something on Facebook. I would like to say that if this helps against pests, I'm for it.
As a lifelong citizen of Ontario, I am appalled by this latest proposal. I strongly object to 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 am 72 years old and a resident of Ontario for my entire life. I have never heard of this practice. Just what is the necessity to "train" dogs to rip apart helpless, caged-in prey? How does this have anything to do with hunting?

I am appalled that this is even up for debate! Wildlife should never be taken into captivity, especially not for the express reason of being killed needlessly.
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.
Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel and inhumane, to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt.

I am writing to express my horror at the proposal to allow the re-establishment of penned dog hunting/training facilities. This practice is beyond abhorrent and serves no necessary practical use in today's world.

There are many other ways to train dogs! Especially in an era with heightened technological advances.
Wildlife or pets, animals are animals that experience pain, and fear. This is an unacceptable proposal, and speaks to the insensitivities of the Ford rule.
This is madness!!
If people are allowed to trap animals for the purpose of dogs tearing them apart, it should NEVER be allowed to happen. Barbaric, cruel, inhumane. Do NOT let this happen.
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.
LONG overdue changes and improvements to dog training and trial regulations! For decades the decline in licenced field dog training facilities has left responsible sporting dog owners in a desperate situation. Hopefully, with improved regulations, we might see this situation begin to rebound.

I can't think of a single scientific reason why the pursuit of dog trials and compounds would not be allowed to be transferred, new licences issued in a highly regulated province such as Ontario. Hunting dogs need special places to train just as much as city dogs need dog parks.
I want to register my opposition to the proposed changes. I live in rural southern Ontario. Coyotes, foxes and other small animals are common and not a problem. What's more, this practice of penning and training dogs to hunt and kill these animals is barbaric.
