PLEASE DO NOT PASS THIS BILL!!!!! What you are doing is nothing but cruel to wildlife and awarding trophy hunters! There is no need for hunters to train their dogs (who are also treated terribly by being left outside in the elements on a short chain no less) in this day and age. Read more

This is barbaric. I can’t believe it is even being proposed. Who are the people who would do this?? We are witnessing diversity loss not to mention the inhumanity of this proposal. Just NO!!!!

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 abhorrent. How much lower can the PC government go

No. I am strongly opposed to blood sports. Plus the risk of any Dogs being hurt or being trained to kill. Lets train service dogs for the blind. They are desperate for new dogs. Don’t make dogs killers.

I do not support the amendment. I find it particularly strange that an authority charged with provincial implementation of international humane trapping standards would also promote regulatory amendments that permit highly inhumane activities and benefit few stakeholders in Ontario. Read more

I am opposed to this regulatory proposal. There is no rationale provided for why there is a need to expand the number of facilities that were permitted back in 1997 when the Harris Government made the change that eliminated new licenses being issued. Read more

Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel and absolutely unnecessary. Please do not open applications and allow transfers. In fact, the correct and humane move would be to close all existing facilities. We should be moving forward as a province to limit cruelty, not to increase it. Read more

Absolutely horrendous. There was a reason they started phasing these types of things out in the '90s! There are so many alternatives out there for training hunting dogs, these places are simply redundant and inhumane towards the wild animals. Totally against this.

I strongly disagree with the proposal to allow new licences and transfer of licences for dog training and trial areas in Ontario. This was stopped in the past for all the right reasons. Read more

I am against this trapping coyotes or any wildlife to train dogs to hunt and kill. This should not be allowed in Ontario or Canada for that matter. The Ministry of Natural Resources is there to protect wildlife and create a healthy environment for wildlife. At least it used to be. Read more

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. Read more

I think the idea to open up a trial to train dogs to kill rabbits, coyotes and foxes in an enclosed space is barbaric, cruel, inhumane and offensive. I don’t want to see the trial go through.

This is absolutely disgusting. We are going backwards. We should be protecting our wildlife, not torturing and killing. This proposal is sickening, and those that came up with it has no respect for our wildlife, and are sick individuals.
