I am appalled that the ministry is suggesting that this situation continue and also be expanded when it should disbanded .While it is presented that the animals are kept apart there has to be terrible stress on the part of the wildlife. I am sure they have to be put down. Read more

This is absolutely unnecessary and serves no other purpose than for humans to further indulge in animal cruelty. There is nothing humane in terrorizing wildlife. Sporting breeds can surely be happy with dog toys. They’re not wild dogs needing to feed themselves. Read more

How would you feel if you were constantly being chased by a predator day in and day out….not much of a life that’s for sure…. Are we so barbaric that we are allowing this kind of “training” to continue!!!! Very very disappointed

I have no words for how disappointed and disgusted I am at this. This is not a humane hunting practice. It forces unnecessary cruelty on the prey animals involved. It also encourages aggressive behaviours in our domestic dogs which are incompatible with safety amongst children and small animals. Read more

This revision to the Fish & Wildlife Act sounds very much like "shooting fish in a barrel." Inhumane, and ill-advised. The encroachment of homes on the Greenbelt is a bad idea, as it impinges on the natural areas that wildlife need to survive. Read more

I am strongly against the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's proposal to allow new licenses to be issued or for licenses to be transferred in Ontario. One would question how hunting animals that are penned up could even be considered hunting. Read more

I'm concerned about the welfare of wildlife that can be held captive and used as bait to train hunting dogs. Why do we hold domestic animals to high standards of welfare (e.g., PAWS) while our wilder neighbours can be treated as entertainment for hunters?
