In this modern era, this policy is decidedly barbaric, inhumane, and completely antithetical to a modern, compassionate society. I absolutely condemn this policy of using captive wildlife (or *any* animals) as bait to train dogs. This needs to stop, now.
This is barberic, cruel and utterly disgusting!
How can the government even consider this proposal?!?
How does putting an innocent animal into a cage to be ripped apart for the purpose of training a dog seem rational let alone humane.

Please do not allow this to continue. New licensed should not be given and existing facilities should be banned.
Capturing wildlife and putting them in an area to be tracked down and mauled to death is a horrible act of cruelty.
This should be strictly banned.
You serve the citizens. Animal persons are each an individual citizen, with as powerful a God given will to live, as you and I. If you believe it's time, to end the barbaric and backwards act of hunting, then you believe we have crawled out of the caves, too.

Disgusting! Barbaric! At a time when coyotes, foxes, rabbits and all wild animals are at risk due to developments on ON wild lands. To have them gruesomely slaughtered by packs of wild dogs is inhumane & unacceptable.

This is absolutely disgusting behaviour. Humans need to respect wildlife for what it is, part of the ecological system to sustain any sort of life on this planet! Humans do not have the right to tear wildlife to pieces either in the name of sport or for their own sick sense of entertainment.

Issuing licenses for dog train and trial facilities where captive animals are used as live bait is cruel and depraved, sending a clear signal that the Government of Ontario has little regard for animal welfare.

This proposed legislation is cruel, barbaric and even unsportsmanlike. Only a society that has detached itself from its sense of humanity would even propose this law let alone pass it! We should be better than this. Vote against this bill.
The acceptance and legalization of allowing wild animals to be abused and targeted is disgraceful. This isn’t morally right and should be stopped.
No one can speak for these creatures so we have to.
Good Afternoon
The dog trial and training areas using wildlife to train the dogs is extremely cruel when it comes to the wildlife. This practice should not be allowed here in Ontario. Surely there are other less cruel ways to train someone's dog.
Thank you
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.

This is nothing but cruel. People can hunt for food without these barbaric methods. Shame on the government to try to expand this when it should be abolished
I wish to comment on ERO # 019-3685: the proposal to allow the issuance of licences for new dog train and trial areas and the transfer of licences.

What is wrong with people. Why do you have to have captive animals and why is it that you need to train your dogs to hunt anything. We as humans are a disgrace to the our species.

This proposal is barbaric. I offer this comment as the child of multi-generational hunters. I hunt. My wife hunts. I have taught my son to hunt. The first rule has always been to hunt ethically and to treat all animals humanely. This proposal flops at this very first rule.
