To open up a so called dog training by trapping coyotes and to allow dogs to tear them apart killing them in such a painful manner is one of the cruelest, barbaric, medieval proposal I have ever come across. Even the British people outlawed the fox hunt.

I cannot fathom why Ontario would support such a severe form of animal cruelty. The rationale for this proposal is ridiculous. The province should explore ways to deter “underground” facilities and also introduce more severe penalties and actually enforce those penalties.

This is absolutely horrendous and disgusting. To allow dogs to kill coyotes for sport? This is Canada in 2023, how is something this vile happening here? Truly horrified by this. If people want to hunt that’s their decision, but to trap them in enclosed areas so it’s not even a fair fight?

This is animal cruelty. It shows a complete lack of education and compassion. This is entertainment for hunters that is no better than dog fighting. Coyotes experience fear and pain as much as dogs do.

The people responsible for initiating this proposal should be ashamed of themselves. This is an archaic and barbaric practice that should be eliminated completely.

This practice is absolutely barbaric and should never be condoned by the Government of Ontario. This is simply pandering to a very minor lobbying group.
Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.

This proposal will cause suffering in the wild animals taken to be used for training purposes. They don’t stand a fair chance, given that they cannot escape. It is CRUEL.
We don’t need more facilities of this type. We need less. The whole idea is disgusting.
It's absolutely baffling and appalling that this proposal from Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s regarding the addition of train and trial areas is even open for discussion.

To go back in time and consider allowing this inhumane and unethical practice of “dog training “ licences is appalling at best. It is never ethical to keep wild animals and additionally to keep them and deliberately put them in harm’s way.

I am appalled at the thought that Ontario would even consider reopening the licensing of places that capture wild animals to be hunted for training purposes. In 1997 it was considered inhumane to treat animals that way and I believe that it is still inhumane
