I knew nothing of this happening in Ontario - I see upon research that 3rd world countries and 2nd world countries - this is normal behaviour - I am so ashamed to be part of this so called human race- I wish you pleasant dreams and sleeps and not the nightmares I am now experiencing.

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.

Please do not allow captive wildlife to be used as bait to train hunting dogs. This is cruel and inhumane. Please do not issue any licences for these facilities.
This whole thing is wrong. Using animals as bait, to have competitions to score. WRONG. Hunting in general is stupid and wrong but this takes the cake because it’s fake, there’s no chance of survival. The only right thing you’ve done is prohibit the use of guns.

I am appaled to learn of this proposal to allow more of this cruel and inhumane practice. We see each day the horror of how humans treat our fellow creatures and now to learn that our government plans to sanction more of this horrible practice is very hard to believe.

I am opposed to the use of live bait to train dogs to hunt and kill. There must be kinder and more humane alternatives that the barbaric practice being considered of using live wildlife to act as bait. Please act responsibly and set the right example, showing compassion for all animals.
It is outrageous that innocent wildlife be used as property, without thought for their sentient nature merely for the entertainment of humans. How inhumane to free the captive only for it to be hunted down and killed. These animals have emotions and consciousness which should be respected.

It is inhumane to use captive wildlife as bait for either hunting or dog training. The province must put an end to this practice entirely. No new licenses should be issued and existing licenses should be revoked.

I do not support this proposal by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry for the grants of licenses for new dog training along with the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario.

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 the most barbaric practice, that I would have assumed no longer existed. Ontario claims to support the environment and has many initiatives that seem like they may. Allowing this practice to continue to abuse and needlessly kill wild animals is unforgivable. Shame on this government.

this is not a good idea to issue more licences for dog train and trial areas. this is a barbaric practice and equal to dog fighting and Cock fighting. this type of activity needs to be phased out. thank you for your time today.
I and my family are totally against this proposed change. This is an inhumane and disgusting practice that simply encourages disrespect and torture of animals. Do not pass this proposed change!!
Once again, the Ford government is tabling regressive proposals that serve the smallest of segments. In this case, individuals who profit from the torturing of wild animals by trapping them, confining them and using them as bait to train their hunting dogs.
