Instead of protecting these animals, the govt. is torturing
and killing them in the most horrible ways. What a sorry lesson
to anyone trying to teach compassion and conservation of animals.
To purposely torture and kill for the sake of teaching hunting dogs

I am totally opposed to enclosed facilities to train hunting dogs. It is unfair to the ‘game’ involved. In the past, people have been able to train dogs without the benefit of captive ‘game’. There is no reason to reduce barriers to training. As a dog owner and lover, put in the effort.

This is horrible. I was shocked to read that these still even exist. And the thought of allowing licensees to be past forward and new locations to open is truly archaic and disgusting. Animal cruelty at its worst. Please do not allow this to happen.
I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.
Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt.

This is not a sportman like practically c and is a cruel and inhumane way to treat captive animals. do not allow this change in the law to allow it cage hunting.
I am writing to express concerns about the proposed amendment to the Fish and Wildlife Act, 1997. The amendment will allow the expansion of licenses for train and trialing facilities in Ontario.

Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt.It’s actually duck, and animal cruelty like this is no longer justifiable, now we understand these animals better.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters.

Please accept this as my disheartened and abject disgusted objection to the proposed changes to the Act. This whole practice is archaic, barbaric and downright cruel.

Please do not expand on this cruel practice. No animal including the ones being used by so called "hunters" deserves to die in this way, being penned up not able to escape is not fair and very barbaric.

Allowing wild animals to be used as bait to train hunting dogs is a barbaric and outdated practice. Hunting dogs themselves should be banned. The torture and terror these wild animals face just to entertain inhumane humans is horrendous and must be stopped.
I am stunned and completely disappointed that this type of animal abuse and cruelty is still happening in 2023. What is almost as disgusting is that I thought Doug Ford was a great leader. I watched him, almost daily lead Ontario through covid.

I am completely appalled to hear that penned hunting is being considerd an option. As a tax paying Canadian I oppose to this form of speciesism, extremely violent , morally and ethically questionable. I Vote NO
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.
I oppose this horrific proposal for dog training and trail areas where wildlife are kept captive to be brutally murdered by a pack of dogs. This is basically canned hunting which is cruel and inhumane. I ask that you do not pass this in the legislature.
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.

I do not agree with this. It's absolutely cruel, and can be abused easily by people who find it entertaining to watch animal cruelty. It's almost like watching dog fights, not much different and I am shocked that such a thing is even proposed.
This proposal sounds horrific and barbaric. If people are going to be allowed to hunt, then the process should be as ethical (as painless and as instantaneous) as possible. The contents of this proposal will cause extended pain and suffering of victimized wildlife.

I would like to voice my strong opposition to this proposal, which would cause unnecessary suffering to the wildlife trapped “for training purposes.” It is essential to respect the local wildlife we have, and acknowledge their importance to our ecosystems.
