This is absolutely appalling that this practice is even being considered. It’s cruel and completely disgusting, and the fact that I need to provide proof of that is extremely disappointing.

Keeping wildlife captive for the purpose of hunting dog practice is cruel, inhumane as actually illegal in many countries. This is no different from illegal practices wherein dogfight organizers keep “bait dogs” for their fighter dogs to practice on.
I strongly 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.

An appalling proposal, cruel to wildlife. Using captive wildlife in pens to train hunting dogs sounds like something I would be reporting for animal cruelty so it’s unbelievable to me that it was ever legal. The pens are inhumane and unethical.

Traumatizing captive animals who have no escape just to train other animals to hunt them is inhumane. I encourage you to find a more humane way to do the training.
Stop this cruel practice. There are other ways to train the dogs. PLEASE don't do this. think of the TERROR the poor animals being chased feel, imagine if it was your pet ......
So we’re becoming even more barbaric and going backwards as far as new government laws go. If this is allowed it will be one of the stupidest things the government has passed. It’s obvious you care nothing about the environment your meant to protect.
All over the world people are moving towards MORE protections for wild animals. The pandemic has given us a new appreciation about the interconnectedness of all species and the need to protect the natural environment, including wild animals.

This is archaic and disgusting. Ontario has vast and elaborate natural resources which draws tourism, why would you place a smear on this?There is already protest for the seal clubbing, why would our government add to this by introducing this bill?

THIS IS BARBARIC. These animals deserve a life free of torture, why are we reversing all the progress we’ve come to achieve?! WHAT DO WE GAIN FROM HURTING THESE BEAUTIFUL WILD ANIMALS?! Animals are here WITH us, not FOR us. Please don’t do this inhumane act, please.
I think this is appalling. It leaves no regard or respect for the wildlife that is being captured for this so called "sport". What a huge step backward for Ontario and is completely unnecessary.
