This is a completely inhumane practice and should not even be considered. There is absolutely no need to train dogs to hunt captive animals that have no means of escaping. Please, truly, do not let this bill pass.

You’ve GOT to be kidding!!! Whoever’s idea this was needs to get to a licensed Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (which are NOT FUNDED by the government!) and see the lengths that are gone to to try to save wildlife from dog attacks. 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 wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. 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. I am not against hunting, but I think this is just cruel and inhumane.

This is inhumane, barbaric and just wrong. There is no reason that ALL animals can’t share the space. A little respect for the animal goes a long way. We are the ones moving into their territory.

The penning proposal is OUTRAGEOUS! I’ve personally seen what they entail, from beginning to end. Where is the PROGRESS for conservation and respectful treatment of wildlife? You will be taking a giant step backward as will your reputation. Read more

I strongly oppose 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. These facilities are cruel and a huge step backwards. Instead, the province’s existing facilities should be closed immediately.

I do not support the proposal! This practice is barbaric and inhumane! Think of the suffering these wild creatures will go through! It especially unacceptable to have hunting dog competitions and I believe these should be outlawed.

This is a HORRENDOUS idea and a massive step backwards for Ontario. This cannot be allowed to happen. LEAVE WILDLIFE WHERE IT BELONGS. FREE IN THE WILDERNESS. Please - let sane, civilized heads prevail here. Please.

Please stop pandering to the psycho killers pretending this is hunting or a sport. It is neither! It is nothing but gov't sanctions murder of innocent animals. Don't continue with this charade! STOP IT>

This is a wonderful idea, for the safety of the hounds and the public. this will also avoid trespassing problems for the public. It also helps with tourists' from far away to attend competitions.

This practice is backwards and should not be brought back. It is not only disrespectful to wildlife but extremely cruel. The government is being spineless in caving to the demands of the hunting community. Read more

Please NO NOT ALLOW THIS! Wild animals should not be taken from their natural habitat, and confined in a fenced in areas, only to be chased and tormented. If this is granted, we are seriously going backwards in time. We need to protect the animals of this earth, not constantly harass them. Read more
