Train and trial areas are inhumane and unethical for wildlife and completely unacceptable. They should be shut down immediately. There are other dog training options that do not pose unnecessary psychological stress to animals.
Rather than increase issuance of new licenses for train and trial facilities, I believe it would be better practice to phase-out license renewals and transfers entirely.

I am commenting on the proposal to amend the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997, and associated regulations, to allow for the issuance of licences of new dog train and trial areas, and to allow the transfer of licences.

I cannot believe the Ford government will consider such a cruel, unacceptable practice of allowing hunters to pit dogs against coyotes, rabbits in ant other animal . Canada, a civilized country banned dog fighting and cock fighting over 100 years ago .

Stop this disgusting, cruel, inhumane and appalling proposal to capture, cage and use these beautiful and living creatures animals for the purpose of dog training !
These poor animals will go through severe trauma and death!

Please consider this as a request to NOT change the current Act. This is a barbaric practice and should be phased out as originally intended. We should be better than this as a society. Wildlife should not be used for sport or any kind.
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.

"Train and trial areas are enclosed areas on private land where certain wildlife (i.e. cottontail, snowshoe hare, red fox or coyote) are kept captive..."
In which case, they are no longer wildlife, but captured animals senselessly sacrificed for a useless blood sport and human entertainment.

It is unreal that such a thing would even be considered. I thought society was past this; moved on from barbaric practises. Anyone who practises in the "sport" of ripping helpless, wild animals apart should be phychologically assesses and put in a high risk of violent crimes database or something.

Have you lost your minds? How in compassionate and cruel can you be? This is the most unnecessary thing you could be doing and spending our tax dollars on. Start dealing with real problems instead of adding on more problems. More animal cruelty - shame on you all.

It is important to protect Ontario's wildlife. It is also important that wildlife is protected and not trapped and held only to be released to be chased down and tortured on 'training' sessions.
