A Government that has animal protection must also protect wildlife in captivity so the Ford Government has animal welfare and protection how gan this be allowed their is a conflict of interest and not allowed it should be banned

Please do not let this inhumane proposal pass. It will result in far more animal suffering than exists already. Wildlife in Ontario deserves to be protected against these traps.
Please, please reconsider this inhumane and cruel practice. I believe hunters have a right to hunt, but wildlife also has a right to protect itself, hide and escape.

This is a despicable practice. The practice of trapping wildlife to be ripped to shreds with no chance of escape to "train" dogs is barbaric and should be outlawed. There's no value in this, it is cruel and horrific.

I find this proposal extremely inhumane.
I am opposed to trapping any kind of animal.
Training an animal to hunt other animals can be achieved by using decoy’s.

This is absolutely barbaric! What is going on with this province, let alone the world? We should be preserving wild life not torturing it more.
Do not allow this to happen!!!

I think this is a barbaric and cruel practice. It sickens me to know that my government is so inhumane to our defenceless wildlife. And what is it all for? Is it necessary? You assume that these animals feel no pain, fear or, stress, nor bear injury or torture. How cruel!

I am completely appalled by this proposal. The cruelty alone is disgusting, not to mention barbaric especially in this day and age.
This is not acceptable, and should this go through, we will not rest until we end such blatant cruelty. Shame on you.
How can anyone with a heart and compassion come up with something like this!
A proposal to gruesomely torture animals for the fun of it!
Put yourselves in the pen instead, or ur human kids and watch them be hunted for the fun of it!!
Ur not human beings but monsters.

This idea is so cruel and inhumane and as a Canadian citizen I am in favour of protecting our wildlife. I am against this change in legislation. Please stop this and protect our animals.
Hunting wildlife is cruel and totally unnecessary- every creature has its place and humans have no rights over them.
There’s no need to train dogs nor trial areas.
New train and trial areas were last approved to be established in 1997 and were intended to be phased-out over time. Let's continue with the plan to phase out these cruel and inhumane practises.
This is beyond sickening.
There are humane systems for training dogs to hunt and this is not one of them.
Please do not allow penned wildlife to be used for this training. The cruelty in this method of training is beyond shocking and shows a lack of emotional intelligence by planners.
This change sounds inhumane. I do not think trapping innocent wild animals for bait is an act that we should even be addressing in 2023. What is the actual purpose of this change? What laws are being skirted around?
