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. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Read more

I am very concerned about the proposed legislation 019-3685 which would allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. These operations were phased out 1997 and 24 of these facilities are still operating in this province. Read more

We are living in an age where we need to be saving and protecting wildlife not confining them in cages to be tortured and then killed. This is utterly disturbing and downright sick. Put an end to this now. This is not how I want to see Ontario. I’m 100% appalled.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! I am appalled that this is even being considered in this current day and age, though not surprised given this ministry’s abysmal record regarding the environment and wildlife management. This is a medieval practice that should be abolished! Read more

I support the issuance of new and more licenses for dog training and trialing activities. Hunting dogs are an integral part of the hunt. I have been a bird hunter for over 40 years and much of that time I have had and used a dog. Read more

Please stop this cruel and barbaric practice entirely. Terrorizing wildlife is shameful what if it were you penned and awaiting a pack of dogs to rip you apart? It could happen to you its called karma

The idea of using rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions is cruel and abhorrent. Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. "Civilization" has already taken too much from the wild!

Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backwards in animal rights. These facilities have no place in Ontario. Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters to be subjected to repetitive stress and torture. Read more

If, and I do mean if the law is changed society is taking a huge step backwards. It would mean condoning cruel treatment to animals who have no way to defend themselves as they are unable to escape to safer surroundings. Read more

This new proposal to transfer ownership and increase the number of train and trail establishments is vehemently opposed by myself and I would imagine a lot of other people if they knew about it!! Read more

Please do not reverse the decision to allow this to go through. There is no need for the training of penned dogs in this day and age. Wildlife needs to be protected and there are already provisions made for hunting. This is an archaic practise and one that has no place in modern society.

How can anyone with half a functioning brain think this is an acceptable practice. Existing facilities need to be shut down immediately. Whether the populations of these animals are sustainable or not is the issue. This is an extremely cruel practice which has no place in todays society. Read more

I firmly reject this policy. It was phased out in 1997 so not sure why it is being considered to bring it back. We have enough hunters in Ontario do we really need to train dogs to tear apart an animal that either has been raised with that purpose in mind or trapped for that purpose. Read more
