This is completely unacceptable for our province to be considering any kind of extension or allowance of this barbaric activity. It caters to a select few for their entertainment and profit. This is not reflective of how most people see the protection of nature and wildlife.

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.

This proposed practice is a dreadful and cruel way to treat any animal. I cannot imagine why anyone would consider implimenting to actually vote this in! The environment needs its wildlife to keep a balance. Don't do this....what can only be described as a cruel and unnecessary sport.
It certainly is not acceptable that these wild animals are to be kept in a fenced area, even though it may be acres of land, to be tracked by dogs on a regular basis. this is a terrifying way for them to live, being chased and tracked even though they are not being killed by the dogs !!!

This is barbaric, cruel and inhumane! I resent that these proposals are made by hunters and that the public, the vast majority of which are not hunters, are unaware of this proposed amendment. Has our society not advanced beyond this inhumane treatment of our wildlife?

This is completely disgusting. Containing wild animals to be used a bait for dogs, giving them no chance to save themselves. What kind of sick person thinks this is a good idea.
Niche group needs taking priority over the greater populace once again to say nothing of the unaddressed animal cruelty within the proposal. This government continues it’s feudalist agenda rolling over life at the cost of capital.
Come on Ontario you can do better than this! Condoning cruelty to animals is disgusting and whoever suggested this should be fired! I have an idea. If this is not promoting cruelty how about we put murders in pens and let dogs hunters hunt them! The idea of this makes me sick.
I feel as though this proposal should be put down, or maybe shot down like those innocent creatures that will be subject to inhumane hunting practices. We should be focusing on conservation and restoring natural habitats for not only the plants and animals but ourselves.

There are many reasons why I oppose the amendment to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act that will allow new licenses/the transfer of existing licenses for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.

Please reconsider this amendment as it will result in many animals being forced into abusive living situations while scared to death that they might become bait for these training dogs.
