This is a barbaric and cruel practice and it is frankly astounding that as civilized society we are even considering this proposal. 25 years ago we made the right choice to ban the opening of future facilities and to even consider this is a huge step back.

This is a step in the wrong direction. I disagree with the notion that if these licenses aren’t issued, people are “forced” to engage in this activity underground.

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.

I generally am in support of these changes, however believe that the competition side of these train and trial properties should end. I understand the need to train your dogs in a controlled environment but see absolutely no need to make a competition of it.

I can't believe this cruel ty is veing allowed in this day and age
We are civilized humans and most of us do not believe wildlife should be used for FUN and ENTERTAINMENT.
This should not be a legal option and those that were grandfathered in should be shut down.
STOP this cruelty.
It is disgusting and is an awful way to treat wildlife, they should be kept in their Natural habitat and dogs should not be allowed to use them to be trained.

As a Master of Resource and Environmental Biologist graduate, and current Biologist 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.

I object to the Ministry’s proposal to allow issuance of licences for new dog train & trial areas & to transfer licenses.
The practice of keeping wild animals captive to be used to be killed by hunting dogs is inhumane & cruel & should be discontinued immediately.

Finally Doug listens to us. Can't wait to set our hounds on these vermin and kill the yotes on our land. Long time coming. We wanted blood, we're getting blood.
To propose the issuance of licences for new dog train and trial areas and allowance to transfer such licences for the purposes of training dogs to kill wildlife is barbaric and unethical to say the least . These wild animals are captured and tortured for absolutely no reason.

This is a disgusting and horrific practice that I can’t believe is happening in 2023. Governments officials responsible should be ashamed. Absolutely livid that animal cruelty this blatant would be endorsed by any level of government.
I am totally against this practice. I can't believe this is being considered when we have so much to say about how other countries treat their animals. This is just an example of how backwards we are becoming. I thought these methods were outlawed and now here it is again.
