It is beyond cruel to hold wild animals captive in enclosed pens so that hunters & dogs can hunt them & kill them. The dogs & hunters have the obvious advantage. These rabbits, fox, & coyote are being taken out of their natural habitat & penned for the entertainment of hunters & their dogs. Read more

This change would represent a step backward for Ontario. I absolutely do not agree with the proposal to allow licenses for new train and trial spaces in Ontario. Training dogs to hunt canned wild animals is disgusting and barbaric. We need to be better than this. Read more

Of all the important issues that Premier Ford should be focusing on and is failing miserably like health care, long term care, education, building on the greenbelt, selling off public lands at Ontario Place to a private company, building an unnecessary highway like the 413, etc, WHY would he focus a Read more

How depraved must people be to even consider that proposal and give the ok? This is the top of animal cruelty. The dogs don’t get away unscathed either, and who needs a dog trained to kill wildlife? Penned up animals to be tortured to death, this is so disgusting. Read more

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 is something that should never be allowed to happen, for any reason. Read more

You’re considering granting licenses for a barbaric practice. Inhumane, shameful. Take away licenses that have been grandfathered in, don’t give out more! I can’t remember being so disappointed, who are you to decide what animals should be brutalized. Totally disgusted

I am frankly appalled by this proposal. We don’t allow this because previous governments acknowledged that this was the infliction of great cruelty to the animals. My god, what is this province becoming?

This is one of the most inhumane and unethical amendments to regs I’ve ever seen after living in 5 different provinces and after working 30 years in the resource management field. Existing such facilities should be closed, not make amendments to open more. Unbelievable in 2023 to see it. Read more

ABSOLUTELY INHUMANE! I live in the country, and often hear the coyotes speaking to each other and hunting at night. They rarely come to the front of the farm because there is habitat and good hunting available for them at the back. Read more

Please explain to me why this is even being discussed. There is no reason to train our domestic pets to attack and kill any animal, let alone ones that are penned up! It’s beyond barbaric.

Hunting pens are inhumane and unethical. Wild animals such as foxes, coyotes, and rabbits are captured and held in captivity only to be subjected to cruelty, abuse, and suffering through the training and trialing of hunting dogs. These archaic facilities have no place in today’s society.
