Please think of a humane way to teach dogs how to pick up scent trails. Catching live wildlife and keeping them enclosed will create so much fear and stress in these animals. It's extremely inhumane. Please reconsider this proposal.
Hello,
Please stop this cruelty and psychopathy, Ontarians are not cruel , the Province must close down the country existing facilities.
The campaign to stop this proposal is massive and it’s point are very very accurate;

Please reverse this decision. It is unacceptable and inconsistent with Ontario’s culture, values and commitments to conservation to introduce this kind of animal cruelty akin to canned hunting.

This sounds incredibly cruel. I am completely opposed to the use of penned wildlife for hunting practice for dogs. What an incredibly cruel and terrifying experience for the animals. Please do not do this.
Hello,
This must be stopped. I and everyone in my family are appalled by even proposing such measures.
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.

This practice of trapping and using small game as pawns to train hunting dogs is despicable. I am so horrified to hear that our current government is supporting and encouraging this practice. This is cruel and barbaric, there is no other way to describe it.

This is absolutely unacceptable! This is animal cruelty There is absolutely no need to expose wildlife to such cruelty! Nobody hunting for survival, or need of food . Stop this nonsense! Vote absolutely against this legislation!
The dogs are trained to kill wildlife, but wildlife aren't able to train to defend themselves. Even the odds by making dogs train out in the wild instead of using the training kennels like that. You literally have a gun while hunting, so allow the dogs to train via sink or swim.
Signed,

There is absolutely no reason for this animal cruelty to continue. This is 2023. You cannot be so medieval in your archaic thinking to not know that there are mountains of science that tells us animals are sentient feeling creatures.

This is encouraging the institutionalized torture of wildlife and it is absolutely disgusting and shameful that the province would even begin to consider this appropriate.
There is not strong enough language to express my disgust and contempt for this propsal.
This practice is barbaric and inhumane. I am shocked and appalled that this takes place in our province. Please remember that these animals are sentient creatures. They are not here for us to exploit or use for sport.
Shame on those who support this proposal.
Please do not allow this archaic practice to continue. It needs to stop for the sake of the wildlife.
Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario.

The ban on penning coyotes, foxes, cottontails & snowshoe hare for teaching hunting dogs to kill should remain!!
Ontario outlawed the dog hunting pens in 1997 because most Canadians are opposed to killing wild animals in penned conditions where they have no means of escape!
