To Whom This May Concern, I was horrified to learn that there is something in Ontario called “dog train and trial areas” which are enclosed pens where hunters train dogs to hunt captive wildlife such as fox, coyote and rabbits. Read more

This is the most inhumane,outrageous and stupid idea I have ever heard of.Those who came up with it ought to be locked in "enclosed area" and hunted by wolves,tigers or lions. This is a product of a sick mind!!!

We are losing pets and livestock and wildlife in Alberta as wildfires ravage the landscape. Helpless and tormented victims of these fires. In the face of this the proposed legislation is license to willingly subject animals to scenario both cruel and terrifying. Where is the humanity. Read more

This is horrific. I vehemently oppose to using land and wildlife for the entertainment and pleasure of hunting. This does not respect the lives of hares, coyotes or foxes. When hunting happens it should be done fairly. Read more

I do not support the expansion of train and trail areas and the transferance of existing licenses. The phase-out that began in 1997 was the right move and should be continued until no remaining such areas exist.

Using live animals as bait to train dogs is inhumane and barbaric. Imagine the terror being inflicted on those poor creatures. What kind of horrible people think it’s ok to do this, let alone being sanctioned by the government? Please stop this immediately.

I am strongly opposed to the proposal to reverse the 26 year ban on penned train and trial facilities for hunting dogs. Penned hunting in any form, including training and trials, is a savage abuse of wildlife, a blood sport activity as abhorrent as dog fighting. Read more

The original Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1997 sought to reduce the number of train and trial areas and to phase them out (completely) over time. This must have been done for a reason. It must have been because they were deemed no longer necessary. 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 wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Read more

I am so incredibly disappointed in this government and their decision to ignore the values and beliefs of the vast majority of Ontario's citizens who oppose such cruel, inhumane practices. Read more

Do not allow new licenses for facilities that use captive foxes, coyotes and rabbits as bait to train hunting dogs. This is an incredibly barbaric practice and I am shocked to hear that it would happen in Canada. Please end this now.

I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I READ ABOUT THESE FACILITIES ACTUALLY EXISTING IN ONTARIO. I DON'T WANT MY TAXES USED TO AID IN THE TORTURE AND KILLING OF WILDLIFE IN "TRAIN AND TRIAL FACILITIES" IN THIS PROVINCE!!! THESE TERRIFIED ANIMALS HAVE NOWHERE TO GO TO PROTECT AND SAVE THEMSELVES. Read more
