Surely in this day of Artificial Intelligence developments being issued almost daily, there is a better way to train dogs with other than live animals. Look for a better way to accomplish the goal.

Using wild animals as bait to train dogs is cruel and barbaric. I was horrified when I first heard about this proposal on the news. What is the purpose of this service? Is it to provide trained dogs for trophy hunters? (which in itself should be illegal). 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 wildlife that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Read more

Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt. Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It is inhumane to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as bait to train dogs. Read more

This proposal is not only cruelty to animals, it is unneccessary. There are other ways to train without the use of live animals. It has been done for years with dead animals or "scent" bags without the need to have the animals kill. Read more

Please allow me to express Humane Canada’s complete opposition to this proposal to extend dog training and trialing using penned hunting facilities in Ontario, due to the severe animal welfare implications it entails. Read more

I think we should respect the previous decision which was to phase out these dog train and trial areas. I appreciate why some people find them to be a valuable resource but I don’t think that value outweighs the to cost of wildlife. Please do not revise the original plan. Read more

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 is utterly appalling. The Ministry should not be condoning such obviously cruel behaviour towards wild animals. Read more

This is unbearably cruel and should not be allowed. Please do not go forward with this legislation. It is morally corrupt and the government should be ashamed of advocating for a policy that it this barbaric. Ask your children what they will think of any one who is party to this.
