Dear Sirs, I thought I lived in a 1st World Country in the 21st Century but it seems Ontario is regressing to the Neanderthal era with this training of dogs to harm other sentient beings for the blood thirsty pleasure of man.

Captive wildlife must not be used as bait to train dogs! This is inhumane and completely unacceptable!!! I am appalled that the Ontario government would even consider this. It is shameful.
I live near a dog training facility which is fence and have seen foxes running along inside the fence trying to get out with dogs chasing them.

Our family absolutely & unequivocally objects to the proposed amendment to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, expanding licensing of penned dog hunting facilities. This is a barbaric practice in the name of "sport", & an affront to Ontario wildlife welfare.

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 wild animals and support cruel sport hunting practices.

I do not support this amendment. I am a hunter and hunt with dogs. None of those dogs required one of these facilities for training so we do not need them.

The practice of using wildlife as bait to train dogs is vile and inhumane.
I am disgusted that the government is pursuing such a medieval idea.
Our MPs should be ashamed of themselves.

I adamantly oppose the proposed legislation re new licences and transfer of licences for train and trial in Ontario. It is time to reconsider the cruel exploitation of animals for the gratuitous entertainment of humans.
Please stop using wildlife as bait for dog training. Surely in this day and age, there is another way to train without sacrificing other wildlife. It’s so inhumane! I would expect Ontario, and Canada to be above these kinds of atrocities.
Thank you
Is this what we should be using dogs and wildlife for?
I wonder how we have a more compassionate society while engaging in behaviours like this. Leave wildlife alone and dogs as well.
At a time when the environment is already under threat all over the place, and barely hanging on to ecological resilience, allowing even more training of dogs to hunt wildlife SHOULD BE unthinkable. Shame on the government for even proposing this.

I am against this method of training dogs and believe that no new facilities should be introduced or built. Further, any existing facilities should be shut down now.

Not a very humane way to treat animals. Charges are laid out quite frequently when it comes to animal cruelty. Why does the MNR think this proposal would not inflict the same results. There are many other alternatives that should be explored before using live animals as dog bait.

I’m embarrassed to know that the government of Ontario is considering allowing NEW train and trial areas to be established when the original allotment from 1997 was to be phased out long before now and probably due to the fact that it was considered then and now as cruel and unnecessary punishment f
