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

It is cruel to capture wild animals and hold them in captivity so dogs can be trained to hunt. Imagine the fear these wild animals must experience. I think instead the 24 current penned dog hunting facilities should be closed.

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. We humans have to do better to treat other living creatures with respect and care.

This is absolutely vile ! This is not tradition, so don't try that excuse. This is not sport, so don't even go there. This is just out and out sickening. To support this is to support the degradation of society and basic moral ethics.

Wow. Disgusting. Again the government is considering allowing even more animal abuse than Ontario already allows to be committed against animals. It is NOT fair that rabbits, etc., are mauled to death by dogs. It is not their choice to participate in this monstrous 'training'. Read more

Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario. What happened to the Ontario Government's intention to phase them out? That was an appropriate direction.

Hunting pens are inhumane and unethical. Wild animals such as foxes, coyotes, and rabbits are captured and held in captivity only to be subjected to cruelty, abuse, and suffering through the training and trialing of hunting dogs. These archaic facilities have no place in today’s society. Read more

Many people, including myself, believe that this proposal would take Ontario backwards in time. If it were to pass, it would reintroduce an abusive practice that should have no place in 2023. Read more
