Re: Dog Training/Trialing I am TOTALLY against the issuance of new licences and the transfer of existing ones for dog train and trial areas. We had the science more than twenty years ago to convince us that this practice was inhumane. Read more

I am a dog owner and an outdoorsman but I do not support this move to use wildlife in enclosed spaces to train domestic dogs to hunt them. This is animal cruelty and should be banned outright rather than endorsed and expanded. Read more

This is the most outrageous proposal !!! Cruelty at its best for both wildlife and dogs! How can anyone possibly approve this! We must do better for our wildlife. This mirrors fox hunting in the UK which is currently trying to be banned!!! Please stop the cruelty!

Dear Government of Ontario, This practice is cruel and barbaric! Why are we stepping backward in the way we treat our native wildlife as disposable? Please do not issue any new licences and consider closing the remaining operations over the next five years. Respectfully, Lesley Smith

Wild animals should not be removed from their natural habitat and kept caged for the benefit of sport hunters training their dogs. The existing grandfathered facilities should be closed and no new facilities allowed to open. This is a reason for me to vote for any party other than conservative.

This would be a step in the wrong direction on so many levels. It includes cruelty to wild animals (how is that even allowed?) as well as increasing the use of hunting with dogs. Read more

There is a reason these facilities were phased out in 1997. This is unethical and barbaric and frankly, outdated. We have come a long way in terms of how we value wildlife and this is a giant step backwards. It’s pretty embarrassing for a “world-class” province to take such a measure. Read more

These "facilities" are inhumane and unnecessary. Wildlife control can be managed without this; there are many alternatives. These facilities are often as cruel to the dogs as they are to the captive wildlife. Read more

This is a very troubling and cruel proposal. 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. Read more

This is cruel, inhumane and disgusting. Allowing blood sports like this does no good other than to encourage vile people to view suffering as “fun.” Only a sick, sadistic political party would even propose such a bill.
