I oppose the implementation of such restrictive areas for wildlife to be tracked and trapped . It is unjust to control wildlife in such a manner; they have the right to escape. People who want to train dogs to hunt have other ways to train their dogs without harming wildlife.

This is a totally insane proposal and should not move forward. Only ethical hunting practices should take place in Ontario and is not only cruel and irresponsible for captive wildlife but also the dogs to place them in harm. The province is already encroaching on their territory enough. Read more

This is absolutely cruel and will have terrible secondary risks. This isn’t something that should be done, our choice to expand cities is creating this problem for wild life, we need to change the way we expand cities to ensure we are including all habitats! Read more

This seems very cruel to the wildlife. They are being help captive for long durations which is incredibly stressful to them. Prey animals like hares can die from the stress alone and predator animals like foxes and coyotes are very important for predation control. Read more

As a veterinarian and epidemiologist I am starkly opposed to this proposed legislation. Not only will it cause inhumane suffering due to stress and increases the risk of injury to wildlife and domestic dogs. Read more

I strongly disagree with 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. I find this to be cruel and unnecessary. Opening applications for train and trail spaces after twenty-five years is retrograde. Read more

This type of practice is unacceptable. I would expect more from a province like Ontario that allegedly cares for the environment. The wildlife within our province deserves respect and fair and humane treatment. Read more

This proposal is absolutely disgusting and is animal cruelty. I’m not sure what sort of deranged person submitted this or why you’re entertaining the idea. Stop hunting/ hurting animals for sport. Would you treat your family like this?

This proposal is ludicrous. Wild animals are already at such a disadvantage against hunters and guns. Then you add in dogs so that wildlife have an even smaller chance of hiding or escaping from hunters in the fragmented habitat left to them. Read more

There is no place in Ontario for this atrocity. This is inhumane and unethical. To bow to a handful of hunters who need to kill more and watch dogs tear living sentiment beings apart is appalling. You are taking this province back 30 years. Read more

This is disgusting. Hunting should not be just for sport. Fine if you’re using it to feed yourself or make a living. But to trap the animals so that it’s not natural, and make it entirely sport is cruel. These wildlife deserve to be free. This is as cruel as dog fighting rings.
