The decision to allow the issuance of licences for new dog train and trial areas and the transfer of licences is shameful. There was a reason a halt was put on this practice. Should we not be moving toward a kinder society, working with and respecting all living things? Read more

This is despicable! You should be ashamed to be even thinking about this sort of thing. What kind of person thinks up such a cruel and inhumane activity! This is not a "sport" as hunters like to think of it as. It is just plain barbaric and cruel, fueled by bloodthirsty people.

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. I find it preposterous that this is even being considered in this day and age. 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

Let me put this as plain and simple as I can.. NO, no way, cruel, animal abuse, sick. What the f is wrong with you to even think this was a good idea. So again NO. You ban pitbulls but now you want dogs to train to attack. There is seriously something morally wrong with this govt. Read more

These facilities are barbaric and destructive to wildlife populations. Our area is overrun by rabbits and rodents because facilities like these have decimated the coyote and fox population. Read more

I absolutely reject the proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. This is animal cruelty, penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Read more

New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for society. These facilities have no place in Ontario. We are taking away the Wildlife habitat. Reserves are needed for them. Killing them is not productive.

Hello, This is absolutely appalling that we are proposing that wildlife be hunted for sport by our domestic pets. We have taken over their homes by building homes and buildings, leaving wildlife less and less space to live on, yet now we want to hunt them with our pets? 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. I disagree with this proposal.

I am entirely opposed to recreational hunting (as opposed to subsistence hunting or Indigenous hunting rights). This practice of training dogs with animals bred for this purpose is cruel and inhumane. We should not use animals in this way. Read more

Are you kidding me with this proposal? It is sick. Penning wild animals and training dogs to kill them? What happens to the dogs after? Oh, they get killed too? How utterly disgusting this is. Stop killing wild animals. What have we come to as a society? Animals have rights too. Read more
