Please do not allow this proposal to pass. It is cruel and unethical. I know I may sound extreme to you because I don’t support hunting either, but trapping and holding sentient creatures for the purpose of sport and training dogs to hunt is unforgivable. Read more

It is hard to believe this sort of barbaric activity is still going on in Ontario. Started in 1997 this type of "hunting" was supposed to be phased out over time. If this is the case why are 24 facilities still operating and why are licences being sought for new ones. Read more

I vehemently oppose the proposed amendments to the Act. The existing legislation that allows for train and trial operations (which are akin to bear baiting albeit a different species) in the first place, is unconcionable. Read more

This is cruelty to the animals being trapped & used for training. They are like lab animals living a life of stress & anxiety in a cage, away from their family & natural environment. I strongly oppose this.

I find this to be absolutely disgusting. If a hunter needs to hunt within an enclosed area to “practice”, they shouldn’t be hunting. I strongly encourage a reconsideration of this barbaric practice. Read more

This is a proposal of animal cruelty. Trapping wild animals just for the sole purpose of teaching hunting dogs is barbaric. If certain dogs must be trained in hunting practices, it can be and HAS been done without trapping animals to use as training bait. Read more

What level of cruelty are we willing to stoop to? This is nothing more then legalizing dog fighting rings. I thought we were supposed to be trying to shut those down? Why is this even a thing? Read more

It should offend our morals to force animals to train other animals to hunt and kill them. It saddens me when we take steps away from a more peaceful path to cohabitation with nature. I would like to see all dog hunting banned, not to make it easier or more efficient to do so.

This proposal is abhorrent in 2023. Animal cruelty should be illegal, not sanctioned by an archaic government. Ontario should be moving forward and not backward when it comes to animal cruelty legislation. Will we be legalizing dog fights next? Read more

Please stop this inhumane practice. Our wildlife is already under immense stress from more than enough cumulative effects (e.g. loss of habitat, human activities, climate change etc.). P.S. it's 2023.
