This is a step backwards for a civilized society. It is extreme cruelty to use wildlife as "tools " to teach dogs how to hunt and to fulfill a human "sport ". Instead of opening more of these inhumane facilities,we should be closing the remaining ones.

I oppose the training of penned dogs to hunt wildlife. In particular, I oppose keeping wildlife penned up to be used, abused, over and over again by dogs learning to hunt. What kind of a "service" is this to hunters? Read more

Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s extremely cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions. Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is an inhumane leap backwards. Read more

This type of 'cannned' activity is not realistic or worthy of being judged. It's about as sportsmanlike as similar canned hunting of captive animals in Africa, the US and elsewhere. Read more

Penned dog hunting facilities are extremely unethical and constitute inhumane treatment of wildlife. 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.

I am firmly agains opening these spaces! Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario! Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.

This is a dated and barbaric practise. It was phased out decades ago for a very good reason. We have other means of doing this other than using live animals. It will be an international shame as no one else in Western society does this anymore. And there are alternatives! Read more
