I am horrified that this is even being considered. Surely there are better and more humane ways to train dogs. Nowhere, and in no circumstances should e allowed anywhere in the province

I am a registered veterinary technician and am quite appalled at the proposal that is being made in regards to the wildlife. There are many ways for dogs to be trained for hunting purposes without it being at the expense of inflicting what I could only say is a form of animal cruelty to wildlife. Read more

I very strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog training in Ontario using captured animals. Read more

This is barbaric and disgusting act and should not be allowed. Why is Ontario government going against the tide? Especially when it comes to the environment? We should be protecting the environment, including wildlife, not destroying it. Please stop.

I am sickened to know that these facilities even exist at all in the province and would not want them to be expanded under any circumstances. I would hope the existing can remain and be phased out as the licenses are phased out and definitely should not be passed on or transferred to others. Read more

There is a good reason why this horrendous practice was being phased out and no new licences issued in the first place. I believe it is inhumane as much for the coyotes or other animals used as training prey as for the dogs. Please do not start this up again. Read more

This is simply cruel and inhumane. It goes against everything we should be doing to protect our land and wildlife. Please do not move forward with this. We need to move forward, not backwards.

I am strongly opposed to the Ministry's proposal to allow new licenses and transfer existing license for dog training and trail areas in Ontario. It is cruel, unnecessary and inhumane to hold animals captive, taking them from their natural habitat and using them as bait to train dogs. Read more

This is the first I've heard of this practice of using captive wild animals for the purpose of training hunting animals for sport. All of the supporting materials I've read highlight the economic benefit of allowing these training facilities to continue and expand. Read more

Please do not hurt wildlife by submitting them as training objects. They have the right to live in their natural habitats. There are other ways to train dogs by more humane means. By allowing the new licence, it speaks to the cruelty of humans and it is not okay. Do not let this licence pass.

The hunting of wild animals by dogs is a barbaric practice and should be stopped. The caging of small animals such as rabbits is extremely inhumane leads to sudden death of the rabbits. The whole practice needs to be stopped immediately. No more licensing no more training.
