Hi please let this practice end in Canada. This is so cruel to animals. Canada is not very kind to wild life or to its pets. I find many cruel practices and as a canadian I am so sorry and ashamed. Please end this cruel and archaic practice and let the animals be ....

It's beyond disgusting to hear the Ford government wants to expand the torture of wildlife in Ontario. They obviously know how unpopular this is because they sure didn't you campaign on the expansion of wildlife torture in Ontario. What an absolute embarrassment the Ontario government has become.

all dog hunting pens should be shut down right now, and the last thing you should be doing is considering licenses for new ones. this is just horrific and you should be ashamed of yourselves for even allowing such places to exist in the first place.
How anyone could think this is a good idea is beyond me. It's unethical and immoral. Everyone involved (including Premier Ford) should be ashamed of themselves for even entertaining this proposal.

This legislation will allow for cruel and archaic hunting practices that have no place in Ontario in 2023. I am deeply disappointed with the direction the government is taking on this important issue. We need to protect wildlife not pen them to hunt them for goodness sake.

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.
Please do not allow penned hunting. It is the height of cruelty. Science has shown again and again that these are intelligent, sentient beings that deserve a place in this world without risk of being harmed for “sport”.

So I understand this correctly - the government of Ontario is condoning animals to be trained by humans to kill other animals?
In 2023 I would suggest that is not acceptable to a civilized population (voters).
This proposal needs to be shelved immediately!
The proposal to allow these areas is move in the wrong direction. Trial and train areas are extremely cruel to wildlife. Why is this being revived after it was phased-out in the nineties? Why is the government allowing industry to make decisions on its behalf?

Absolutely inhumane and unethical. Is this what we have become? Taking pleasure in an animal's cruel death. At least in the wild they have a chance. This is not hunting , it is slaughtering. Putting animals in a pen is not fair and sportsman like.

Please do not allow this cruel practice done on our wildlife , it is inhumane horrific torture to another living being . Please please please save our wildlife !
...we are allowing people to release dogs to chase wild animals in an enclosed area to hunt them? Why? To prevent them from going into the wilderness to do so? This is like permitting dog fighting because people will do it underground anyway.

There is no moral or ethical argument for this expansion. In fact, the reverse is true. The capture of wild animals to be used repeatedly to train a predator to hunt and kill it is repeated trauma to the animal.

I find the proposal of the MNRF to allow the issuance of licences of new dog train and trail areas that Provincial Animal Welfare Service, aka, PAWS, should charge the MNRF with promoting cruelty to wildlife in captivity.
