This proposed bill to allow new facilities to open is unethical. To think there are already existing places to train dogs using this barbaric hunting practice, and now we are considering more? Coyotes and foxes provide an important role to our eco-system and deserve to be left alone to do so. Read more

This is barbaric and inhumane practice and I cannot believe my government would be supporting it. To think that my tax dollars helps people put these practices in place makes me sick. The reasoning also makes no sense. Read more

Please do not allow this barbaric hunting practice to be perpetuated. The fear and trauma our wolves, coyotes and foxes suffer at the hands of these hunters is appalling. The dogs are permitted to run through any farm they choose, mingling with our children, farm animals and farm dogs. Read more

I oppose the proposed changes to the train and trial provisions. The existing phaseout should continue with the goal of eliminating train and trial facilities as soon as possible. Existing licenses should not be inherited. Read more

This is a horrifying proposal. It is cruel and inhumane and will cause harm. Dogs who a trained to kill are more dangerous to all other animals, as well as adults and children. This cannot be allowed to happen.

I strongly urge you to reject allowing license for the inhumane penned dog training practice. Using trapped wild animals for this purpose is grotesquely barbaric & cruel and I suggest enabling people to be involved in this practice will empower those already harboring sadistic tendencies.

This is an upsetting update and I consider this to be a cruel impact on animal welfare and the environment. These types of activities have been banned in many countries and deemed in humane. Read more

While most of the western countries move to ban or curtail “sports “ such as fox hunting, dog fighting, etc. Ontario considers moving in the opposite direction. This is unconscionable and I as an Ontario tax payer and voter, strongly oppose this proposal.

The fact that this is even being considered is cruel and abhorrent. Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately. Please reconsider and take action to amending this stain on the ethics in Ontario.
