Its hard to believe such a barbaric practice is even being considered, what is the matter with people who find this acceptable to pen defenseless animals to be killed by dogs . Read more

This is brutal and unneccessary. Do not allow new licenses or transfers. Wildlife should not be tortured and its ridiculous that this comment needs to be provided. This government should be ashamed and embarrassed by this proposal.

This is absolutely unfathomable that our Ontario government would allow this amendment to proceed. Are we in the 1600’s?!? Have we not evolved enough to realize how incredibly cruel and archaic this sounds. This is not necessary nor representative of how Ontarios feel. Read more

This absolutely unacceptable. Animal protections should be strengthened. Ontario is falling back into the dark ages with this proposal. In the 21st century this should never be permitted.

I want to register my objection to allowing the practice of hunting penned animals by dogs which is cruel, horrific and brutal for all the animals involved and could hardly be regarded as sport. It is appalling that the province would license such a thing. Read more

Holding wild animals captive to train dogs in pens is unethical. These wild animals will be subjected to cruelty, abuse, and suffering. I oppose the proposed amendments to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to allow new licenses for dog train and trial areas.

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. Read more

I strongly object to this inhumane practice. Those in the province who are recommending continuing this practice and actually expanding it need to have a serious rethink about what you are doing. The practice of training dogs to kill wildlife in this manner needs to be banned immediately.

Absolutely disgraceful and cruel practice where the wildlife and hunting dogs are subjected to injury and death. Where is the responsibility of the owners and licensees to protect the animals from injury? If cock fighting is illegal in Ontario - how is this different? Read more

I am opposed and disgusted by the proposed legislation that will effectively legislate a return to an inhumane market of attacking wildlife. I believe most Ontario voters would oppose such measures if they had a chance to vote on it. Such cruelty certainly will not be forgotten. Read more

As an avid outdoorsman, I DO NOT support the use of dogs for any hunting purposes whatsoever. Hunting is and should always be ethical and I strongly believe in merits of fair chase. If people use dogs for hunting purposes, it takes away the fair chase ideal. Read more
